If you're machining a hex into round stock, it's a moot point. You want to do what I think you're saying in your second point, which is what 968/254 have done the last two years
Cory,

On the first part, we were going to have a 5 axis cnc make it. At our nearby college they have one. We have not been able to get our bits yet. We are still looking for clamps. But how has the second option worked for you.
