Those cups look crazy!

The Checkmate QD only cost me $75 As far as being a non machinist average joe, I'm a trained tool and die maker and CNC programmer. I could easily make 95% of this build myself but I spend all day in the shop. For the time and material cost it would take to make a one off form1 can I easily earn 2-...

Wow.

Juliet Delta Customs will build from drawings

Ill just leave this here

These look like good kits. I would personally recommend you go 8" on a .45 can though.

I think any heavy work on 17-4 could certainly benefit from coolant. Can it be done dry? Certainly. But i remember running production on these same type of 17-4 cups, on a manual machine with mediocre carbide inserted tooling, and it tends to heat ths material up. Maybe it's due to vibration, or les...

Thanks for the info folks. I knew I'd read somewhere threads containing coolant info but couldn't find them this morning. Those should give me the info needed. Thanks Ken H> We just hooked up a flood system on our lathe. I have no idea how we made it this far without it. A food grade bucket, 6 gall...

Juliet delta customs offers made to order cups. Any size, 7075 or 17-4. [email protected] for a quote

And, thats where juliet delta customs comes in. For people without a lathe, that want stuff made their way (within reason). Weve been busy for 10-12 hours a day since the first week we opened the site. The demand for 'kits' is surprisingly huge.

Nice work! I think the form1 community would certainly benefit from a diy booster! Any way we can get you to draw up a sketch?

I'm definitely interested in learning how to mill on my lathe. The grizzly gunsmith's lathe we have is much more ridgid than the HF 44991 desktop mini mill we have. I have an MT3 ER40 collet chuck with an MT5-MT3 sleeve I can throw in the spindle. I think I'll just need to figure out a drawbar for i...

That looks like a nice setup you got there. What kind of lathe are you using? We just added a flood coolant system to our Grizzly gunsmith's lathe. Does your 6 Jaw chuck run out at all? Nice machine work!

I would go 316 SS, 41xx series chrome moly, or titanium. 17-4 baffle stack. Good luck!

Wow! What a juicy build. I'm doing something similar to this for a customer this week. I've been taking my time warming up to cutting the titanium, and trying to conduct as much research as possible. Can I ask what kind of machines you used to mill the flutes and turn the reduction? Beautiful work, ...
