I cut some wing uprights from 1/4" 6061 Thanks to all the help from the people on here. My machinist friends are lost with this type of machine lol The finish on the cut end was ok but could be better. All that mattered is that the customer got their parts I also cut some 1/8" carbon plate I made for the wing mounts but that video is only on my facebook. Checketouuut youtu.be/oY0juwJruKA

Nice work!
I'd crank down the RPM some though.

I like the "OH YES!" at the end of the video. 👍

Nice work! I'd crank down the RPM some though. It seemed to "sing" less with them maxed out. you think I should go for 2 or 3 on the router?

It seemed to be cutting fine but I could hear a difference when Id hit it with WD. just seemed to sound better with it
