Good, I won't argue. I've already tried it, works a treat. Thanks Andy. Now I an laying out the code to cut a coffee cup half full of 1/2" square ebony buttons. I was going to try to cut the roundover first, then cutout the buttons in the groove the roundover left but the smallest nose I can find for a roundover mill is .047" in diameter, wasting the ebony and its darned near 50 bucks at MSC. So I will cut them to size, with the rounded corners to fit the pockets already cut or about to be cut since I haven't counterbored the sides yet. So I'll cut them out, 3 at a time, with a .03125" end mill, which should yield 63 to 66 of them from a 2x12x.250 ebony strip. I'll need about 48 good ones. Then I'll make a dummy pocket the same size using the code to make the ones in the mahogany, but only about .150 deep in a block of micarta, with a vacuum pump to hold it solid in the pocket, and grind the pilot off a cheap 1/8" roundover bit & trim the top with the same code expanded for the size of the pilot I removed. Thats the plan anyway. ;-) But despite the shop having some electric heat, its only 21F here today, the artic clipper has finally found West Virginia as a target, so this is all being done in the sim. My poor diabetic feet would get frostbitten in half an hour out there. And I have another job waiting, my new DIL wants a "The Heskett's" sign similar to the one on my driveway corner post. This girl is a genuine keeper, and there aren't all that many at her nominally 40ish age. Thanks Andy.
