Re: Build an AICS Chassis for a Howa 1500?
Autocad is a 2D CAD (computer aided design) software. Solidworks is a 3D software. I do not have copies of either that I can distribute. I am however working on an Autocad file for the Howa action inletting. Once I have it perfected I will share it with anyone who is interested.
As far as the two mills are concerned: Those ARE the Sieg X3 mill. That is the exact mill I owned. Both of those are the same mill, just with different options. It is OK, but for the price you can get a used Bridgeport, which is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better. SO much better, that I would not even consider the X3 unless you do not have room for a full sized mill. If you plan on machining an steel - then don't even bother.
