    It's kinda done. Not entirely but it is functional.

    Some chips. 16mm carbide end mill over mild steel block. Second picture is taking cut around 1" deep, I had some chatter there, not sure where it's coming from but not the head. Is 1" too deep for a single pass on vertical? Either way the mill is definitely capable.

    The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.

    depending on feedrate, id say 1" DOC is probably pushing the limits, definitely of your workholding I would not be surprised to see chatter. On my BP i would well and truly be wrecking things by that point.
