In the highly unlikely (IMHO) event that Hatch 3.x is unworkable, I want to get in there and find out sooner rather than later after learning a whole new skill.
Thanks for the tip, Heifer Boy.

Thanks for the info, VTX.
I would have guessed a lower spindle speed, but nothing succeeds like success. What little I was able to find before suggested light depths of cut, which you are taking. About .003"/rev for the 1/4" and .002"/rev for the 1/8 ". This gives me a good starting point. Can't thank you enough!
I took a peek at your photo album. You do some very nice carving. Is that your CNC in a couple of pix? Looks like a sibling to mine! Is it a CNC Router Parts?
Thanks yet again!
