Machining my new CNC Z axis assembly aluminum base plate

This video summarizes the CAD and CAM of my new Z axis assembly, focusing on the machining of the first aluminum part - the base plate which will attach to the X axis gantry of my Onefinity Woodworker X50 CNC router.

I provide details of the machining setup, toolpaths, machining parameters, and sample video clips of all the machining.

A few things to take note of:

1) Video playback includes real-time and increased speeds - in some cases up to 6 and 8X
2) The 'feeds and speeds' presented were at times modified depending on the sound of the cut and chips produced. In most cases this involved lowering the feed rate.
3)The endmills I used from SpeTool, Datron, and YG-1 all performed extremely well. The chip-welding I experienced using the 3 flute YG-1 for adaptive clearing was most likely a function of incorrect machining parameters - something I look forward to experimenting with and improving on later.
4) Although I have an MQL setup, I prefer to not use coolant at this time, and have found a strong air blast clears chips very well.
