Makin' chips

So it turns out I can feed a lot faster than I had been. That's ~94 IPM (2400 mm/min), and I think there's room for more. Pretty cool to see those chips flying.

The final dimensions of the piece (and another test I didn't catch on video) aren't quite right, so I'm trying to figure out where that error is. I feel like the machine should be able to hold a LOT better than 13 mil. Currently it looks like most of the error is in the Z axis, though that doesn't seem to account for all of it. Grr...
