Out of curiosity, would it be possible to do one out of brass or stainless? I'm sure the tooling / speeds & feeds would need to be adjusted. Not sure how well brass would hold up though, unless you went with something like a 400 series Navel Brass.

Like eating an elephant, just gotta take it a little at a time.
Getting close to the end of the 'roughing'; buzzed the bulk of the sides down...
Then another .200" off the top...
And that just about does it.
I have some new tools coming on on Thursday, new and sharp so I can (hopefully) hit the dimensions on the spot, and will make doing the angled features a little easier too.
With a little luck and minimal interference, hopefully I can have the new blanks fully profiled by the weekend.

Continuing on, had some local client work take up a good chunk of the day- thankfully I have a second mill - but I still got a good chunk of the roughing done.
I have some work I need to do over the next few days, so it'll be a bit before the next update. Stand by!

I feel like this would be the most flex pump setup for scenario games

I promised you chips, and chips you'll get.
As I'm making a couple extra now, I need to buzz some raw bar down to the VT profile. Start with this...
Do a LOT of this...
End the day with this.
It'd sure be nice to slap that puppy in a CNC, press the start button and then go have a sandwich and a nap, but my little shop isn't quite that high tech yet.

Okay ladies and gents. I plan to start making chips on these this weekend, with a hoped-for finish date of four to six weeks.
We are NOT limited to just the four blanks I already have. The prices are the same if I have to start from scratch, and I have enough material on hand for several more.
I think I've contacted everyone that expressed interest, and if you would, please use doc (at) docsmachine.com for further contact. (I don't always have time to check my various PMs as often as I might like.)
Thank you!
Doc.

No worries Doc! Thanks for the response. Hope you get that PC all figured out, they can be annoying for sure.
