Another useful way to operate a CNC mill is to run the axis only with the spindle static. By grinding up different tool shapes such as a graver you can cut very fine lines or designs.
One example is loco springs, the leaves were cut with the tool shown a reground 1.5mm end mill on a 6mm shank, the profile then cut with a 2mm end mill.

The Saddle Tank is now complete, batteries are housed in the tank space and accessed via the smokebox door that opens, and the electronics are in the coal bunker.
