Probably best to think about it for a month or two before you try...I know, I know.... I hope to try an actual CAD/CAM project tomorrow

Thanks Gerrit, appreciate that!
First chips under computer control.
Used the conversational face wizard to take 2mm off this block.
Discovered that I need to reverse the spindle direction in the driver as the M3 command starts clockwise rotation but the spindle is actually running counterclockwise. That’s the reason for the burr at the beginning.
Feed rate at 300 mm/min was too slow.
