    It says I-Pad, thinking of putting an I-Pad there to use as gps/maps etc. Need a screen big enough to see at a glance while driving. I've become more and more dependent on GPS to go places so some type will be in that place. I'm open for suggestions

    more pic's of console. Getting some wood work done still need lots of trimming and fitting but the idea is there.

    Could you share a photo of the bit? I'm curious as to the amount of deflection on such a long tool. Small, steady cuts?
    That and cleanup - LOL..

    I'll get a pic of it tomorrow, it's an 8" bar with carbide tip, 5/8 in dia. I took 3/16"to 1/4" at a time till the last pass which was only about .020- .035 of an inch. No clean up needed on the wood it's smooth as a baby's butt. This was done on a Bridgeport Milling machine, tool deflection is zero when cutting this wood even with the 8" bar. Each revolution of the bar would mean .006 of an inch downward travel causing a smooth finish. This wood is one of the hardest at a scale of 1400 compared to say pine of about 400 on the wood hardness chart. If I was using Pine, there would have issues trying to hold it tight without damage by either wood deflection or vise crushing it trying to hold it. The vacuum did its clean up all around the Mill if that's the cleanup you mean, there was plenty of that!

    Wanted to seal the shifter slot so no debris fall in when shifter is in place. I used the Milling machine again with a T-slot cutter to make the slot for the plastic seal to slide when the shifter is moved. click image for video

    also got the cup holders holes cut. and put 1/4 corner round edge on the shifter slot.
