Wow! That's really nice work. I do amateur CNC on a little Sherline mill (mostly building working model steam engines), and It would be fun to apply it to a 1911. My 1911 isn't built yet, but I'll keep your work in mind.

It would also be interesting to mill the grips. I'd first thought of that as a good project.

Excellent work as always, James.

I know it requires additional tooling, but have you done diamond pattern checkering?

About couple weeks ago, I was figuring out on the set up and angle cutter. Didn’t come out right, one day I will.

Thanks

A guy I know on another forum wanted something like this done on a concave buttplate. Can this be done pretty easily?

it's really nice to see your work....thanks for sharing

love the image through the microscope

may i ask, what type of MSH/Magwell part are you using in the last few images? it looks very nice, reminds me a little of the Nighthawk part or perhaps a Mr. Chen part.

First I machine the frame tang .220 or .250 radius and than hand blend the beavertail

thank you, that's so very nicely done.

wondering if you had any thoughts of suggestions for augmenting or improving the grip surface on 1911 slides that were milled for red dot sights...i find sometimes that they can be more than a bit challenging to manipulate/charge.
