Re: Machining on Opposite Sides

Peter,
It might be like the blind leading the blind. This is really my first
important machining project. Right now I'm still in the preliminary
planning stage - ie refining the drawings and making sure the new
part will fit the existing assembly it will attach to. It will
probably be a few weeks before the actual machining takes place after
a few preliminary models in wood are machined to make sure everything
fits. When I finally get there I'll try to document it with some
pictures.

By the way, is it considered bad practice to use a mill to machine
wood? The only thing I'm concerned about is sawdust getting in the
works. I have the ways covered. Is there a better material out there
for preliminary modeling thats not too expensive? This question is
addressed to anyone.
