[glbtrottr]

It has been a minute since I was playing with Mastercard, mini-mills and Hass equipment.

Anyone in so cal want to help bring me up to date on setting up a VF4 to cut a blank after I serialize it?

Appreciate it!

Machine it, then serialize it.

Anyone has any good starting files to improve or modify?

SO a lathe with a milling attachment is fine?? How about a Lathe with live tooling??

PC29185 is all about the ghost gunner.
Notice how almost every line says "sole or primary function of manufacturing firearms"?
That's so it does not interfere with other industries that use CNC milling machines to make things other than firearms.

I use my cnc machine primarily to make soft jaws.
It's just ironic that the soft jaws are to hold receiver blanks.
