[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 161836, member: 2580"] Eddie, for that hole I use a 4 flute center cutting end mill (runs smoother than a 2 flute in my mill) and plunge down .145" from the floor at the back of the slot. Works great, don't have to break my setup, and just barely reaches the firing pin channel, so I don't have to punch through at all. very controllable. (I cut the middle of the slot first with the same 3/16" mill and set over ~.027" on each side and climb mill both sides to get a .240" wide slot). I don't particularly like climb milling, but it makes a very smooth surface for the sides of the extractor to work against. I am sure glad that I don't have to make a living doing this stuff, I'd starve to death; but I listen to the professionals who are making their livings at it. Thanks for taking the time to follow up, and thanks for the P/M. Tom [/QUOTE]
