    Come to think of it, I should really take pictures of some of our existing fixtures. One of them literally has a clothes-pin as a major component of it's design 😅

                    Someone posted this on BF and thought it was worth a share. Seems to be a Google Chrome plugin fix for the photobucket fiasco. I haven't tried it myself, but others have said it worked for them.

                          Call Netscape and tell them to update there damn browser. There only 9 years behind on maintenance.

                                1/4" aluminum plate on deck.

                                saftey glasses on, one hand on the e-stop, the other one's holding a beer.

                                wish me luck boys.

                                  Does it cut aluminum? Yes.

                                  Is it a good idea? Well...

                                  I broke a .113" drill bit. As the bit goes through the back of the plate it starts to grab and it bogs down the router. Machine flex also may be a factor, but regardless, drilling seems like a bad idea.

                                  Milling went okay. The hole sizes came out pretty accurate, but the outer circle isn't very round. 0.015" difference between the smallest and largest diameter. Not sure whether that's flex or a calibration issue. Will have to do some digging...

                                  Regardless, I have car parts now that I didn't have 2 hours ago. 👍

                                    What part is this? A fast idle throttle butterfly?

                                          I can help you with feed rates if you would like, drilling aluminum should be easy for every machine. How long did it take to cut that out? What end mill did you use?
