Popsbengo Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 How do you level the sub base? Will you machine it in situ or is it levelled by adjustment of packing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you machine it in situ or is it levelled by adjustment of packing ? The subplate is precision ground, so it will sit pretty true with the exisiting table. I’ll dial it in with the mill axis’. It may require re-leveling or adjustment of the spindle to make it perfectly true. I’ll carry out various measurements to check it all.

I've set up quite a few machining centres back in the day but that was many years ago now (+25). All good clean fun ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR FIREARMS Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 The subplate torqued down and dialed in, also the tool offsets re-established. It will soon be ready for trial runs of barrel fluting. Slow progress between jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR FIREARMS Posted November 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Something a little different. A threaded Marlin with a shortened rail and mag tube to allow use of a Wildcat mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s a true 4th axis, so full 4 axis wrapped toolpath capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR FIREARMS Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Some may consider this a waste of time but it’s quite popular. It’s a tactical bolt conversion for RH Tikka T3/T3X’s. Obviously you can buy replacements that are normally a DIY fit, but some customers don’t like the straight aftermarket handles, or the fact they are usually a bit too long and spindly. And occasionally are a poor fit. I modify the original handle to accept one of my in-house made bolt knobs, and turn it to have a smooth transition. The end result is an improved handle with an OE look. It’s a bit more work but many customers prefer it, and i feel it looks a little nicer and unique.
