Yeah, don't mess with those swans, they're the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered birds you ever set eyes on, just look at the bones!

Or perhaps it's just a decoration for the African exhibit... Nah.....

cutter was 3" diameter (I have larger, but this one suited the job), running at 450 rpm and 150 in/min. I normally only use coolant on finish passes - carbide likes to run hot. the chips ,as they come off, turn bright blue from the heat.
