Looks pretty smooth. What drives are you running etc.
Is that a rifle bolt you are machining? Why the spiral groove.
(I wish people would put up more information when they post as I get hungry sometimes ;-) )

Thanks for the reply.
I am running the original steppers on the mill and a keling KL34H295-43-8B direct on the rotary.
Mach3 Larken drives and a Campbell break out board 70v PS
This was the first one so I had the feed and speed set way slow.
Yes its a Rem 700 bolt. The fluting gives a little less resistance and can help with dirt. I just like the looks of it, plus no one does it in my area, so I am offering the service.

Thanks for the feed back. It may be slow now but you need the latitude when it's the first cut just in case something goes wrong.

I love all the improvised things people get up to with their machines and the neat things they can do with them.
keep up the good work and post more vids when you can. They're interesting.
Rich.
