I have a large (for me) compression mold to machine. Material is
4140 prehard (~Rockwell C30). Main mold plate is ~9 x 24 x 0.625".
Almost all of the machined features are on one side of the plate-
see attached image. Not having used 4140 prehard I have questions
about how much this may distort when I take material out of one
side and not the other. How much do I have to worry about this
given the material and condition?
