[QUOTE="338hammer, post: 203563, member: 10182"] [b]Tooling[/b] There are ball endmills out there for any size you need. A ball endmill the size you indicate will cause heart palpitations and blurred vision when you see the price. SInce I steel and Piller bed anyway, I have found it way easier to cut flats with standard endmills and actually use a 1/2 endmill and run to within an inch of the end of the stock muzzle. Then a use a 4 or more flute ball endmill to trace the barrel channel I have marked out on the material. I make sure I am under sized in all my cuts and finish everything up by hand fitting. However if you want a close contouring barrel channel then this method is not for you. Since I fee float everything forword of the action I really do not care how much its floated as the barrel covers it up. For the action I either do as previously indicated and encompass the action in steel bed apoxy or use a 3/4" endmill and move from side to side as needed. I also agree that one can not have enough indicaters, especially in the absence of CNC or DRO's. Just something to think about. Neal [/QUOTE]
