Deleting roll marks and blending comp

[churchmouse]

Sorry but there won't be new pics today I did a little to it last night but not enough to post and I have to work on another one this morning. Just thought I would let you know in case you were watching

Intently.......

Is this to be polished or cerakoted?
I'm not a big stainless fan but washing off the graffiti makes that clean.

It will be Ceracoated. It is not stainless. If it was it would remain as is. Still mulling over colors.

Now we are talking!!!

I'm a little surprised that both sides are 0.10 out of flat. I would have thought it would have been within a couple of thousands.

That includes going deep enough to eliminate the roll marks

Maybe AllenM has something in shop to try this out on? Ya know..some out of town guy..DEEP DARK PURPLE!

cool!! I can't believe there is that much variation in the slide though! I would have thought it would have been pretty darn flat from the factory!

Tim, I love the color he used on my 700 300wm. Man does he do an awesome job!

Allen, I will have to have you do a 1911 for me in the future. I don't know how big a gun you will do, I;d like to have my M1919a4 Ceracoted. I'd even let you shoot it for a while :-)

I saw that gun in the build process and the color. Very nice.

I like it

You would

I think the roll marks warp it a lot. new Caspian slides are very smooth

Did a little more comp blending. Next thing I wanted to do was clean up the bottom of the slide cut. Turning the slide up side down in the mill and leveling to the slide rails I took a 5/16" ball mill and evened up the lower lines. Caspian calls this a recon cut. But it gives a nice crisp mate to the slide










r

Next I blend the top rond to the slide. there wasn't much there to do so that was nice











Next is a ball cut along the upper slide line. I think these look good and this to gives another nice crisp edge.
The top of the slide is not parallel to the bottom of the slide so it needs to be setup so the top is level for this cut. One day I will make a better fixture to hold slide and comp at same time. I just modified this one to work and got lazy.







then checking parallel to the mill




after that I want to find the center of the slide using an edge finder. I zero the mill on one side of the slide then find the edge on the other side and divide by 2 to find center. Y Axis is all I care about at this point


















after adjusting Z Axis (height) .5150 will be the width I width I will cut on each side so they are equal to centerline




something like this













I set mill head to 15 degrees to match the cocking serrations and found center again



And just like that.




copied my numbers to the other side and slide has ports








I know what you are saying.. your'e saying but the comp needs holes it it now and the bottom of the comp is out of level....stay tuned

we could probably work something out

Super nice Allen! Plus I can see why anyone would want to remove "40 CAL" from the slide.
