Over all setup	Roughing Complete
Almost Complete Finish Pass	Machining Done. While the scallops look big, they are only about .010 in

Interesting way to make a very precise prop block.

Only problem it is a little pricy to tool up for:
CNC mill with high speed spindle $1800
Design and tool path generation software $1500
Seeing as this is the only thing I have made so far I guess it is a $3300.00 prop block!
