That is very helpful, thank you!

My birthday is tommorow (or today by forum time, I think, ) and I think I am going to have enough money from presents and such to get a miniature mill so I can get started on finishing this thing. I haven't been learning as much Solidworks as I'd like to, but I've been really busy this month. I am going to have a lot more time next month, and can really start bearing down on this project to get it running!
