Let me know what YOU think :D

First of all, these photo's are amazing!!!
and i'm not experienced with actually building a board but these cuts look like they turned out extremely well.
Plate might be too thick, I notice the cherry switches are not fully "clipped" into it.
Suggest adding some divots like what GON does on his plates.

This allows the use of a thicker plate but the MX switch will also clip in properly.
It's hard to tell for sure though. In the shadow of the last picture it sort-of looks like it's properly clipped in. Even if so, the GON method is something to consider, as you can have a much thicker plate except for those clips for less wasted material, possibly a little faster machine time and especially higher plate rigidity (though it should be pretty rigid already.)
Yes I want make under cuts similar to GON's. And yes I want to have thicker plate (about 3 -3.5 mm ) :p

These look great. Just the OCD in me for pointing this out but it appears that your mill may either be suffering from a touch of flex or it isn't perfectly trammed in. Just judging by the ridges between passes. I realize the surfaces aren't ground just couldn't let it go. I had to say something. Not trying to be a **** but it might help prolong cutter life.
If you weren't located across the pond from me I might ask you to make my plates for me but using stainless but shipping that much weight that far would put the cost out of reach for me.
This is semi finish cut. It was chemically aged It still need anodizing and polishing :)

Yes you are totally right. Finish is unacceptable :) This was speed test. I just wanted to see how fast 4mm and 1mm tool will go.

That is awesome! I love the recess cut on the top surface. Very nice work!

Gotcha, didn't realize that was essentially a roughing cut. Carry on then.
Have you tried stainless with that size cutters yet?
