Hi Randall,
The praying hands looks great. Only 35 minutes, what do you use for a cutting pass depth and feed rate on these?
Best regards,

full depth since it was a final toolpath. At 8% stepover most of the cutting is done by the side of the bit but it is only taking 0.010" of material per pass. This is where the tapered ballnose bits from Gary Beckwith really perform well.
