Custom milling

[Bob]

Does anyone in the UK have a CNC or similar and feel up to trying some custom milling? Tom Allan etc?

If so any chance of a quick word.

In addition anyone know the pros and cons of having a gun custom milled, whats the chances of buggering it up?

 

[Tom Allen]

I'm in the process of converting a mill to cnc, but it's a way off yet.

 

[Bob]

Okay, just though it would be worth an ask because I have limited skills with a ******* file.

There's old school for you, "******* file".

What marker is it?

It would be an NXT shocker body.

Ah, the laughs from 'craft and design'.

 

[Tom Allen]

The difficult bit is the cad.

I might be able to get you a drawing made. let me know what you want, I'll see if I can steal one from Ydna

hey, I work for a precision engineering company we have many HAAS mills and lathes CNC and manual and we're all pro we can make more or less anything, or adapt anything you want

Also with the messing up side, as long as u can produce a drawing with all the measurements and stuff you want we can create it with tolerances of 0.1mm and under accurately. And we always work to a high quality machine finish.

 

[Bob]

Cool, does that work from a CAD diagram etc or do you use the force?

I'm currently trying to find out tolerences and acctualy get my net to work so I can pay for the damn thing.

haha well, obviously you suit the tolerances to the job, for stuff like the moving parts and mechanics of the guns you would want a tolerance of about +0.015 -0.15
for like a marker frame you would be ok with a +0.1 -0.1 tolerance sorta thing. For drawings a Cad drawing would be a lot more easier to read then a hand drawing but even a peice of paper with a rough ish diagram can be worked from as long as all the dimentions are marked, but yeh we're not a load of Jedi's so i doubt it would come out to well if we all used the force
