And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

I would be happy if the other thread was un-stuck. This is a better thread than the original.

May I suggest you use the top plate as a template rather than a guide? If you scribe a line on the 80, then remove the top plate you can use the line as your guide and save the plate from being chewed by the bit or end mill.

Nice work!

The trick to long cutter life is correct speed for the metal being cut and keeping the cutter cool. Use a cutting oil, and pause every few minutes to allow the cutting tool to cool. You can dip it in a mix of Ballistol and water to cool and lubricate the tool.

I don't think I could stay inside the lines like that. It was pretty hard cutting as it was. If it were wood that would be easy but with metal I don't have those skills yet. Maybe next one I will give it a try. For the bottom I will remove the top plate and use the inside wall as a guide.
