dskinsler83 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Does anyone here have a Harbor Freight and now the size of the required DROs! I found glass scale kits for $520 shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Mill order has PROCESSED!! Says SHIPPED OH YEAH!!! Come on 5/5/14!! From the info I am getting off the comparison chart at LMS on DRO is most mini mills use a X-300mm Y-150mm and Z-250mm. The comparison chart is pretty close except for the X on the Harbor Frieght which says 9" of travel which would roughly work out to another 250mm. The table measurement would allow for a 300mm though. So just go with the 300mm for the X? Oh and the place I'm looking they are all 20mm longer that these standard measurements. So respectively it would be 320mm, 170mm and 270mm scales. Edited April 29, 2014 by dskinsler83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmiller Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Does anyone know where I can find a stl file for a 1911 slide? Bought a makerfarm 3d printer kit, and have been trying to learn with it before I jump into the cnc mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj308 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've got one if you want to pm me an email addy. I used the .igs file from cncguns.com and converted it with HeeksCad. That's about all I can get Heeks to do lol. I've never used it so I can't speak to how well it transferred. Looks good in MeshCam though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jid2 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) These are they. Non-ATC, looking for $20 each (have a QTY10), also have some collets, and QTY 2 drill chucks, $40 each. Edited May 4, 2014 by jid2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Darkon is great quality. I have a bunch of their ATC compatible chucks. I would be all over these if they were for ATC. $20 each is a steal. Someone better jump on them. Edited May 4, 2014 by LoganbillJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Won a 45 slide at the Area 2's a few years ago and thought it was time to do something with it before I start cutting a 1911 frame again. So started with the French cut tonight and will do the top serrations this week. The slide was already flat topped and cut for a Novak. This was done using the mill manually. What cutter is this?

StraightUp_OG Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Blind Hogg's are the instructions I used to learn. They are spot on. Once you do it a few times you will most likely make small improvements to suit your mill and style. And what is the riddle in the image? Did you make your first cuts with the mill on the striker?
