Notes

Approximate Milling Times:

Brass: 30 minutes

Aluminum: 45 minutes

Stainless steel: 6 hours (with coolant) I had to try :)

I had one .0313" end mill to use for this project. The feed rates are conservative but reasonable. Feel free to experiment on your own.

When milling the steel, I used a little hot glue to form a wall. I much prefer to build a taller wall using modeling clay. (less mess!)
