Great work James. I recommend you use an oil versus WD-40 for lubrication. WD-40 is technically a solvent, and it cooks off at a fairly low temperature.
Thanks for the suggestion! I have recently bought proper cutting fluid. That we just all I had at the time. Not the greatest but better then nothing haha.
Nice job on your first project. I cringed when you tilted your mill head, I find that tramming the head back to 90 degrees is the hardest part of setting up the mill in the first place. When you see your Fly cutter cutting on both sides of the head (cutting a part lower on one side of the mill) it is a sign the head is not trammed to 90 degrees, and that will affect everything you cut in the milling machine. (I am pretty new to milling too).
I'd be pretty proud of those!
Thank you
Fantastic effort mate :) You'll be an expert in no time!
Thank you
I just made a smaller one since I didn't have any larger piece of steel. I used a grinding cup wheel in the mill to get a really smooth surface.
Hola la fresa de desbaste a que rpm trabaja, saludos

Посмотрел с удовольствием. Спасибо!
Когда-нибудь у меня тоже будет фрезер. 😢

Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely look into that
lets buy mill so can mill tools for milling then... nothing to do
Isn’t that just half the fun though? 😂
