If u were doin it all at once, i would recommend instead only taking 20 - 25 thousandths of an inch at a time untill ur at depth. Ive worked at a machine shop for the past three summers, and we worked with aluminum a lot. It seems to cut easy, but really is quite gummy, and hard, which is why its such an awesome metal. Good luck with the second door, it looks awesome by the way. Nice job...

Yeah, I got a little too aggressive with it. I've never messed with aluminum before. Fortunately, I ordered enough billet to do two. I
knew I would screw one up!!
