Our Mechanical Engineer Jon makes a cool, split keyboard out of aluminum. Scott watches and learns insider tips on cutting, finishing, roughing and some tool path insight from one of the makers of the AltMill.

In this video we used ►
- New, larger bits: 3/8" roughing end mill; 1/4" flat end mill; 1/8" flat end mill
- Tiny bit: 1/16" ball nose (for 3D adaptive blending)
- Our Automatic Tool Changer prototype (going on pre-sale fall 2025)
- A 2.2kw ATC spindle prototype (for testing)
