This may be a really stupid question. Does the build need to pass some sort of inspection? If so is it at different stages of the build or just when it's complete? I was wondering when I saw that other people started it, so I was wondering if when buying something that was started by others are...

I have quite a few of that style end mill that came with my last mill. I have always just used and ER collet and never thought twice about it. Never had any issues, in fact did it just yesterday. I wouldn't be worried about the ER collet only grabbing on the smooth shank. Not very much contact...

The last step was to mill out the ends of one piece and the center of the other. I didn't end up taking any pictures of that but I solved my parallel problem by using an off cut of brass to go between the movable jaw and the hinge leaf. I took .010" depths of cuts just to be safe. I couldn't get...
