    Gunsmithing Best way to drill large holes in steel

    Here's a video using a indexable drill 1.5" in diameter going through 1.5"steel plate. I would recommend at least 10 hp and a pretty rigid set up for a drill this size, but it sure makes short work of the task.

    Gunsmithing Haas Tl-1, live tooling, SSG bolt knobs,

    Okay this was a fun project, that I've been trying to get to for quite some time. So to make this possible I installed the atlas pneumatic chuck, tied into the spare M functions so I could control it in the program. The haas has spindle orientation activated. I then added this foredom tool...

    Gunsmithing CNC machining thread protectors!

    Thanks. It is a Hyundai Hit-8s No live tooling, that would be awesome. It had very low hours it was somewhat close to the shop and the price was right. I very much dislike the Siemens control though, much prefer FANUC. I did add some live tooling to my gang bar for making bolt knobs in the haas...

    Gunsmithing Totally awesome barreling and action truing system

    We have been using our original True Bore Alignment System almost daily for about 2 years now and have also sold 44 of the systems in the USA and Canada and am unaware of any unhappy clients.

    Gunsmithing A sweet little, expensive package from Switzerland arrived today............

    Programing should be no problem. (15-20min. job) Yes, interrupted cutting when boring the lead may cause problems this is why we used the absolute ridged geometry in the design. If that is the case the throating reamer will need to be used. The insert is a CDGT with DX30 or DX50. Here is a pic...

    Gunsmithing A sweet little, expensive package from Switzerland arrived today............

    First off, I will say I am in the experimental stages, so I make no claims as to how this will work, but will definitely be sharing the results. These boring bars are designed to handle boring chambers from the 6br caliber/case diameter to the 300WSM length/caliber. Advantages: they allow the...

    Gunsmithing Action truing with TBAS. and Haas TL1 by SSG

    Re: Action truing with TBAS. and Haas TL1 by SSG Thanks for the positive comments. As far as the counter bore on the action. I guess it would be for several reasons....one, to protect the thread lead in. also to help center the action with the barrel when assembling. The counter bore on...
