Start with the larger recess first and use a rod that's a larger diameter.
then cut the center , and last reduce the outer diameter.

That way you keep the structural stiffness till the end of the operations.

They are still a pig to machine! That is a very deep recess and a very thin wall.

Did you know that the average central corneal thickness [of the eye] is 0.5mm? Just thought I'd pad my postcount a little. :evil:

Glad that helped. Let me know if you need any remeasurements. Very interested to see how those come out Dr. Robotnik!!
