Also made a collet rack this past weekend, this was a test of doing multiple operations in one g-code file utilizing different tools (center drill, 1/4" end mill, 1/16" ball end mill for engraving) :

I like your address sign.
Mine is ceramic with the numbers made up of flowers - it came with the house. Not exactly my style.
So, I've decided to copy your design and make one for myself.
 
LOL, that's exactly how mine was too and came with the house as well- beige ceramic tile pieces, brown numbers and red flowers. By all means, copy away! :encourage:

Did you cut the holes for the collets with the 1/4" end mill cutting circular interpolation or use big cutter, like a boring head or something?

(good to see this thread active again)
 
@Bob - yes 1/4" end mill that plunged where I pre-drilled the holes, then did a contour to make the round holes. I have a detailed post on this project in my RF30 build thread in this section.
