Today I had the machine drill holes into the table for table clamps. This would allow me to securely hold down material that wasn't very big. However, my calculations were off and half the holes (the outermost two columns) were unusable because they intersected the bracing below. Still, there should still be enough usable ones for most projects. I still need to cut out clamps to use with the holes.
Afterwards, I cut out two new fin designs for the Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) rocket my team is using. I used my new 1/8" end mill and cut at 10 ipm. I was not in a rush and wanted to make sure the fins were as accurate as possible. They came out very nicely.
