My only concern is the cost of a lump of ali that big - and turning it into a pile of shavings - loads of waste!Thanks! I enjoyed it. Recommend you make one as it was a nice job to do. Not often I get to do big deep cuts in large lumps of aluminium.
Wheres the fun in that. VCGT1604 tool straight in and side to side to rough out then topslide to finish. The tool is 35 degrees and belts need roughly 36 depending on pitch diameter, thats what I remeber using.
