JFlowers Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Does anyone have the G Code or CAD drawings for cutting a 45 Colt SW cylinder for 45 ACP moonclips? And no, I will be cutting lots of scrap steel before anything that is actually part of a gun goes under the CNC machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 It's a simple matter to turn it on a manual lathe. For the CNC mill, just program a 1/4 inch end mill to cut a circle .015 larger than the O.D. of the moon clips and another circle as small as possible without hitting the ratchets. Make the depth the thickness of the moonclips +.005 with rough and finish passes. You will need a way to hold the star in the cylinder so the end mill doesn't lift it up and closely fitted brass plugs in each chamber to keep it from turning.
