[QUOTE="70oldsracer, post: 1774343, member: 95943"] I need to give my barrel post a break lol! When turning down and threading a Remington bolt handle on a mill, I see you want to be left with a .3125" shank (for a 5/16-24 thread) that is .600" long. I've watched a few videos where guys have milled down the the side and top of the bolt first. My question is, approximately how much needs to be removed from the top of the actual original bolt knob to give you that .600" long shank? In this video, the guys mills all four sides of the knob to get it ready for the hollow mill cutter, but he also mills down the top of the knob. Is this just to make it square to the handle, or is there a certain amount of material that needs to be removed to achieve that .600"? [MEDIA=youtube]3i2lCg8MHXQ[/MEDIA] Thanks, Frank [/QUOTE]
