So I did a quick trial run.... And yes I turned the knob too far and overshot the length
1) I have an old manual machine without DRO or any fancy stuff
2) I quickly learned this thin aluminum behaves way different than plate steel

I think I got it close enough that with some more practice  I can give it a shot this weekend with the proper set up and using stainless steel. I was using a roughing endmill tonight, might switch to a finishing end mill? I'm still a beginner.
