[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 203556, member: 8843"] Dave Kiff is a great guy to deal with , you can call him and he may be able to point you in the right direction fo some tool ,his range rods and mandrels are probably the best. As for the 1.375" end mill , thats not a very common size though they do have them , the actual or on the Rem 700's is 1.350-1.355" so you would be .020" over on your inleting which isin't a problem if you don't need that "like it grew their" look. Anaother problem is that the ball nose endmills don't like to cut wood or fiberglass to much , I was thinking the next time I get the chance to inlet one that I would use a regular 6 flute center cutting endmill (I got a couple that are 1.350" now) and just clock the mill head over 45 degs so that your cutting on the side on the tool rather then the bottom. For the indicators , those are like relocding dies ,you can never had to many , you can get some decinet ones from Grizzly for about $15 ,their not great but if you take care of them they do a good job but their not sealed up as well as the Starrets so they can get a little funk on the inside and gum them up , get a couple 2" travel models too , they come in handy , a few maybe 4 of the flexible magbase holders , and rather than use the mighty mag holders that hold the idal real close I mill the lug off the back of a couple and glue a strong magnet to them cause they take up less room.
