Anchorage99,

I understand it's not good milling practice however this wasn't meant as a how to of machine shop practice. I can't say I'll never do it again, but I can say I'll never post pictures of it again wink. I'm amazed at how this has been more interesting to some than the actual project. As for the carbide burr, I use them a lot when dressing down welds. I have a lot of them and they are cheaper than good endmills. It's pretty hard on endmills when dressing down welds, the hardspots where weld material meets original metal can beat them up pretty bad.
