Yep. It'd be a long and "interesting" job to mill that curve.


You're probably going to be better off doing the spines out of a material that can be bent/rolled precisely, taking care of the radius that way, and then drilling the holes.

Or you could rough-cut it with a saw and sand/grind it down, as suggested previously. Use the mill for hole-drilling only (and if it's just that, there's a drill press wanting some attention, I'd assume).
