Hi guys, Looking for a little advice on a couple things. Basically as of right now i have a Harbor Frieght Micro mill stock. However it was used for one project and now is collecting dust.

I am looking for some advice on the How and if to start machinning parts similar to the following picture. The material will be 316 Stainless Steel.


I do want to make parts similar to the picture above. I do not require this to be a mass production or a fast machining process. My questions would be, what type of machine do you think I would need to be able to handle the stianless steel.

Also do you think that one machine would be able to complete the milling of a peice like this. ?

How many axis mill do you advise the mill be?

Also any other advice on my project.
