Nice! I love the look with the ball end mill. I've gotta try this.

What settings were used when using the ball nose bit?

Chris, I used a 3/4" diameter round bit with a cut depth of 1/4". Since the milling pattern is an area, it creates that "wave" effect.

What I meant was did you tell the machine that it was actually an 1/8" bit instead of 3/4"? and if so what were your feed settings etc?

I left the tool setting at 1/8" bit.
