My web host is offline this morning due to a fiber outage... the pics will re-appear once the issue is sorted.

The machine has ball screws. The pocketing was done conventional because the CAM software generated a cleaner path convention rather than climb. It is something odd with the CAM software. Being that time was critical we just ran with it. This was one of the first times messing with hsm paths on this mill. For being a convention mill with limited rpms it did ok.
