I've been playing with trying to mill out an aluminium raspberry pi case on my OX cnc. I thought I'd share some of my experiments and the feeds/speeds details for what I'm trying.
This is a re-upload - I hope I've re-balanced the audio now...
I was asked how my double belts have been holding up under use and how circular I'm able to get with circle cuts. In this video I do a quick test of milling out bearing holes in plywood.
the double belt video is here:

A new addition to my ooznet OX CNC, to go with the vice I made last year, I now have a vertical vice. This lets me clamp stock up to 75cm long and mill the end to create tenons etc.

This is a re-upload - somehow I managed to delete the video :-/
I have two nest thermostats in the house and I wanted to make a stand that was a little more interesting than the default one.
This was a great opportunity to use CAD modelling, metal bending and CNC in one project.

Previously I posted a video about making an CNC airing cupboard door with a ripple effect, it took me about 8 months to make that door, so when it came to making the doors for the sink unit I was keen to experiment with a faster approach.
Firstly I 3d printed a custom jig to help me make the frames really quickly, then I made the panels as a single piece on the CNC. each one took about 10 hours of CNC time which is quite a lot. but much faster than cutting hundreds of individual sticks :-)

Some months ago the drive tyre on my workzone bandsaw got wrapped around the axel and snapped. Sourcing a replacement has been problematic, so I figured I'd see if I can successfully cast a replacement using a 3d printed mold.
