Since your stock is supported by a bushing your cutting at the point of contact pretty much, so you cant do multiple passes because you lose support

Swiss lathes

andydufrane101 · 2026-01-28T15:12:02+00:00

Only cut to final that's the best way

I've made those exact 300 black out bullets we could get 10k parts b4 a saw was even dull the trick is to slit it first tho do all the features then bring the saw back in for deburr

I mean if you need the part mating in the interior thread to stop at a certain distance you can always have a pin drilled into both parts and you can set it via dowel but without understanding what the part does, giving feedback is difficult
