3/4" carbide end mill spinning 5200-rpm, traveling 70 inches a minute cutting 1.05" deep with a .25" engagement. Look at the chips fly!
Does that look like a bomb went off? It should, that's a 3/4" drill spinning 2750 rpm hitting K100 aluminum at 30 inches per minute. In other words, it took 2-seconds to pop a 3/4" hole through a 1" piece of aluminum.
Chips!!!

A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome—in the end we are not only defined by our friends, but also those aligned against us.
This is going to be a touring frame set I'm building for Nate, formerly of DC, now of San Fran. I believe he posts on VSalon as "Anomaly". I'm hoping to have this mostly finished up as an under construction/raw piece at NAHBS.
Just as a test for my NAHBs bid next year I scrambled to get these two done as if I were to be exhibiting. Looking forward to seeing everyone this next weekend. Temp is climbing in Boston and it is getting to be time to ride.
