Great job you are doing here Hemi ! May i ask what type/grade of aluminium you machine ? I want to use 6061-t6 for my project but maybe you have a better alternative ?

I'm mostly using 6061, but I also have some harder aluminium that I have no idea what it is.

I've been working with the circle gear, and I got it almost machined when it came loose off the chuck. I could not tighten the chuck very tight because the circle gear is not very thick. I was taking very moderate cuts and relatively slow speed, but it was not enough

I have to try again, and do the final operation with different mounting method.
Luckily some parts turn out decently.
