    Some recent projects...

    Sako 85 bolt handle threading in 5 axis. Once I figured this out, I wanted to throw my lathe into a lake, lol.

    Bolt manufacturing. 84 different machining operations in 2 setups. This was fun to sort out.

    Extractor manufacturing and fitup. To proof out the code I ran down to the hardware store and bought a handful of grade 8 bolts. They work great for sorting out jobs like this.

    Much respect. I'm still learning on my small lathe...

    Very nice. It’s definitely way more in depth than I want to go on gunsmithing. I’ll be happy just trimming and bedding barrels and building AR’s in the future! I may get into doing more with barrels later on.
