Step wedges usually aren't 90º but have a slight angle so they lock together. Watch for slipping on the one you made.

Thank's for your comment!
I noticed this right after I did a couple of thoose...but
That gives me a good reason to machine version 2

Yesterday i worked on a Clamp for a flexible air hose.

It worked but came out pretty ugly...it think it's difficult to mill in 6061 aluminum. The 4mm mill bit
Broke at about 12.5 mm depth, so i had to face off the last 2.5 to save the part. Mabey it's better to mill some extra space around the profile (wider...) to prevent the bit from snapping? More room for chip clearance. I cleared the chips with an manual blow gun. Any hint's from the mill masters out there are welcome
