    Gunsmithing Dont laugh you big cnc guys, but thoughts on a HAAS Mini Mill?

    Work envelope it pretty small 16" on the X, then you have the rotary axis and the tail stock. You'd be doing good to get a 12" barrel in it for fluting. I don't think the cabinet has a door on either side to allow you to extend work outside of the cabinet. The 6000 RPM spindle really limits you...

    Gunsmithing Any 'smiths with Weatherby Mark 5 experience?

    It's still on the project list, the scope mount was a Rem 700 mount, it made poor contact with the receiver, in fact it looked like someone tried to super glue it to the receiver in a poor attempt to bed it. So I have to replace it with a true Weatherby mount. It's been in limbo due to the lack...

    Gunsmithing 40hp Rotary Phase Converter Startup

    Any reason you didn't go with PhasePerfect for that amount coin? One side note, if you're running a late model CNC with it, you might have to invest in a buck/boost transformer to get the voltages within mfr. spec.

    Gunsmithing Bandsaw blade question

    If it's annealed 0-1, is should cut as easy as anything else. If you're trying to cut a hardened piece then you'll have to use one of the suggested methods. Make sure the blade you're using isn't too coarse, you need a min of 3 teeth in contact with the material so you'll need at minimum a 24TPI...

    I do CNC engraving of AR's all the time. Normal job is the RH side above the trigger pins 2-3 lines center justified and blackened. .070" high, .006" deep. Very discrete, not a billboard.

    Gunsmithing Just dreaming and looking at my screen

    Math, it's all about math. CNC machining is a collection of different skill sets more so if you are a one man operation. You have to understand manual machining, materials, methods. You have to understand the programming environment typically Mastercam & Solidworks. I use OneCNC as it's more...

    Gunsmithing Spray Gun

    I use an Iwata Kustom TH it's the only air brush that I found that has a fan tip as well as a standard round pattern, it also has a traditional spray gun trigger as opposed to the normal top mount air brush trigger. The optional Custom Grip Handle is a must have in my opinion as well. It sprays...
