Over the last few weekend I have been working on trying to get the CNC router completed thus allowing me to finish the stocks and hand guards for the VG1-5 rifle. For every step forward there seems to have been 3 steps back. It is hard to believe that it has been over a year […] With the wiring completed on the angle connector plate The next item to be made is the side panel. This is where the fans and angle plate attach to. These are the pictures of it being machined on the HAAS machining center. Everything starts as a solid model and then a drawing to work from. […] With these last three operations we will have completed the work on the cnc machining center.
You can see the process of rough machining the bottom of the curve for the trunion. This op also machined the complete magazine well out. A good side view of the rough machining of the curve. All the […] With this post I am going over a few of the problems that have occurred during the machining of op5 on the 4140 hardened trunions. We ran into a snag while doing this op. A problem that did not occur on the 1018 steel parts. A quick video discussing the problem and solution. The […] We have started on Pete’s, a friend of gun lab, new 4140 MP-44 trunions. This series of videos and posts is the process we used to make them. First the video. Here are the pictures going over the changes and the steps we took. We needed to change the depth of cut for […] The last post on the bolt was when we completed the lathe work on it. This left us with a turned bolt with the firing pin hole drilled and bored. A fixture was designed to allow us to machine the bolt at the different angles and still keep everything aligned as it […] This post will go through the steps necessary to machine one of the lower receiver. I was going to do a video, but there was not much to see with the coolant on. If you remember the last post on the lower receiver we had finished welding it up and it looked like this. […] We have been working on the VG1-5 at a steady pace to try and finish this project. This last week has been spent on the upper receiver. The lathe work has been completed on the upper and now we have started on the operations that have to take place in the machining center. This video […] In this video we are showing the steps to do the first op on machining the upper receiver on the VG1-5 on the machining center. We are getting closer every day to completing the VG1-5. You have now seen the first series of spot welds necessary to put the strengthening plats in and putting then together. With this accomplished it is time to do the first machining op on the receiver. This operation cuts out the trigger opening and also the holes necessary to weld in the front barrel support. […] |
