Re: pic: 1323's 4x1 Wheel

The wheel looks cool by itself, but pocketing doesn't always make things look good. Too much pocketing (wheels, frame, etc.) will become too busy and will take away from the beauty of your machine.

Even with a CNC, you're going to spend forever milling those tiny pockets with a tiny endmill to fit into the tiny corners of said tiny pockets. Your best bet is probably just to reduce the number of holes.

If you really want to pocket it out, you could probably work with the lightening pattern and remove more material. Try making some spokes instead of just cutting random holes.
