That's cute. Surely you can get out your tiny end mills and work it down
a few more levels...


That's possible, but would add to the time expense. I was thinking, to
try selling this stuff on ebay.

My work involved here, is to open the vise six times and flip the
cubes in the vise.

Dude, you have a 4th axis, only two vise changes required. Load part and
machine sides 1-4, stop, flip part and machine sides 5 and 6.


Add to that, probably use custom soft jaws in the small vice on the 4th
axis in order to properly locate the part. Also probably machine in AL,
polish in a tumbler and anodize for sale.
