This morning, I machined true, Honeycomb Texture and sandblasted on Springfield Armory SS frame.

Nice work, I like it!

Beautiful, after blasting it looks much more comfortable, before that I thought it was sharp looking. How does it compare comfort and grip wise to checkering?

Noice!

Turned out nice. It is very comfortable actually and I prefer this over checking. I might even like it better than the dragon skin James did on one of my other springfields.

Thumbs up.

What endmill or bit does one use to accomplish that?
Very nice

CNC or ???

Very nice. Did you CNC that or did you do that manually with an indexing head? I see the machinist's marking paint so I thought that might be manual work and if so KUDOS.
(Kudos either way actually)

I did it on manual mill and rotary table, sandblasted to cover up the mill marks.
