It Is Always Better to Buy Material Close to the Finished Size

I discovered after first attempt that I really needed less than 1" diameter Delrin for this slip clutch.  I started with 1 62" diameter rod.  You can turn that down on the mill but it takes longer than it should.  Worse it is all manually done.

So I looked for a way to have a robot do it for me.  I put the workpiece in a chuck on the rotary table on the tilting table on the mill table .

I wrote some code to drop the endmill at the right spot, then rotate the table 360 degrees.  Perhaps I do not understand it adequately,  but turning from 0 to 360 should make it realize that it is back around to 0.  It needed advancing to 720 for another rotation.  So I rewrote the code to cut one direction, go down .01" then go back to 0 degrees.

This is mostly an experiment.   I have some 7/8" Delrin arriving soon.
