[QUOTE="Yotehntr, post: 5099169, member: 8341"] I had to put in some serious time on this step. I have to set up the mill and "square" the rotary table up. After set up I have a fixture that clamps/holds the tone boards. Since I don't want to shatter the hippo ivory I only take .025 off on every pass. I set the blank in taking into consideration any defect in the blank hoping to cut it out with the ramp and air channel. I'm use a rotary table on my mini mill to cut the ramp. I know it doesn't look like much work but here's about 10 hours of standing in front of the mill for that step. 15 tone boards are 1 step closer.
