Actually I used a ProTech 30deg V groove I picked up at Hardware Centre CT. Feed speed was 1000mm/min, time to machine about 8 min. I also machined the bevel base with the MechMate. Clamped the block upside down at an angle and ran the head up and down across the block feeding Z down a little bit at a time manually - like one would do on a milling machine, writing the code would have taken me longer .
