Angel LCD restoration and update #2

[RustyShackleford]

I got this angel LCD from a guy on FB in Portugal- it was in rough shape- breech rod stuck, o-rings gone. But I rebuilt it- drilled it for eyes with a drill press- and threw a PM7 board in! Last step is to file the frame for battery clearance! Hopefully I'll have a link to a video of this puppy shooting by Saturday!!

Do it with a mill.

Yessir! My first angel i did on a HAAS with the help of my buddy and i did some slick solidworks programming. but the whole process took so long i just wanted to see if i could get it done faster. While i do recommend the mill to all project enthusiasts out there - the drill press worked out on this one! But yea you can see it in the chuck for the bit, the mill's are super concentric, the drill press is less than ideal. But so far so good (at least this one time )

Do it with a mill.

or if you mean make clearance for the battery, that would ALSO be ideal, but I'm just gonna crackhead this one out- i think this will be my daily driver if it all works out!

I was referring to the battery.

100%, filing it out took about a half hour hahaha
