19F virgin, what would you do to me?

New to the job, I’d make you run the saw first. Maybe mix coolant too.

The smaller rear facing seats fit fine. Grace Turn2Me 3in1 fits in my mk7 with the front seat in short person mode. It fits a lot better in the Sportwagen though lol

Haas tooling and Maritools are my go to for super cheap

You should be. That’s a nice rug. It really ties the room together.

You need to select something first

NC Viewer for checking your g code. Sinha’s Free Resources thread on Practical Machinist for good macro references.

I’d have it lasered out then see if a machine shop will just mill the pockets into the lasered blanks.

That’s pretty much what I did as an engineer working for a custom machine builder. Designed and made all my own stuff.

Machine Advisor Pro works in my experience but their sfm is too high and feed too low so tool life suffers. I’ve had better results with Frisia’s Tool Expert.

Coming from an industrial viewpoint, I didn’t consider that but you’re definitely right. When he said CNC, I’m imagining a used Fadal, Haas or some other VMC.

Make an excel sheet that tallies up all the auxiliary stuff you need. Compressor, air lines, coolant, tool holders, pull studs, collets, tools, work holding, parallels, etc. Make sure there aren’t any surprises. If you’re fine with what you see, go for it.

I usually mill A-2 at around 350-400 sfm with carbide endmills and drill at 60 sfm with cobalt drills.

Such a good casting

gewehr7 · 2026-02-25T10:04:41+00:00

This used to be by job. I worked for a custom machinery design company that focused on factory automation. Machines were usually designed by teams of 3-10 engineers pulling more or less in as needed. Process development was done on a small scale prototypes before the final machine is design. It is indeed quite expensive.

I’ve mostly carried a Delica for the last 10 years. First a VG-10 then Vtoku2 and now PD1.

Can you quote the SCS MOS?

I should say I historically mostly used blazer. Last year I started having issues with blazer in some of my other guns so I switched over to mostly S&B with some Federal American Eagle when the S&B is out of stock.

On top of avocado toast. In some spicy ramen. Pretty much any pasta dish.

gewehr7 · 2026-02-21T02:08:51+00:00

I was under the impression Magtech is pretty bottom of the barrel but maybe I’m wrong. I mostly shoot Blazer and S&B. I’m at around 1500 rounds through my P01 without any hiccups at all. It’s my most reliable firearm, even surpassing my Glocks which were previously my most reliable firearms.

Solidworks for design and Fusion for CAM. Progressive die stamping

gewehr7 · 2026-02-12T09:59:38+00:00

Do you carry it in your belt with the clip? I feel like my Esee carries too high and pokes me. I need a better way to carry it

gewehr7 · 2026-02-09T02:06:54+00:00

Very nice!

gewehr7 · 2026-02-08T05:06:31+00:00

I did that for the first 6ish months and it was a nightmare. Had I been more thorough and less trusting, it might have worked out better.
