Here is the finished product, with a few parts installed for a test fit. This has been
a really enjoyable project.
You could cut the entire fire control well with a 1/2" mill. However, to get the .218"
radius called out in the print, you are going to need the 7/16" mill.
A 1/2" endmill used for the rear takedown pin does leave you at the upper end of
the tolerance, but still within spec. Use a 7/16 mill if you are going to use this
lower with an existing upper. In this case, a machined upper will be used and well
be able to fit the size of the lugs to the slot.
A few guys have asked me to put together a list of tools to complete a 0% forging.
Here's what I use:
Regular Endmills-Buy an assorted set. I use the 20 piece set from LMS.COM. I also
got a 5/32" endmill from Enco, it's not in the sets.
Long Endmills-5/16", 7/16" and 1/2" These are not a necessity, but make it easier.
Enco has these.
Large Endmills-These came in a 6 piece set from Grizzly. Sizes from 3/4" to 1 1/2".
Collets and Endmill Holders-If you get the Large Endmill set from Grizzly, you'll
need a 3/4" collet. LMS has these. A 1/2" endmill holder comes in handy, but it's
not required. LMS again. The collets that came with the minimill were fine for the
rest of the work.
Drill Bits-A good quality set from Home Depot, sizes from 1/16" to 1/2" by 16ths. A
few long ones are nice to have, I used "aircraft length" bits sizes 3/32" and 1/8".
These are available from Enco.
Reamers-Must haves are 3/8", 1/4" and 5/32". Nice to have are 1/8", 13/64", and
5/16". I use all these. You could get a 3/32", if you wanted to ream the detent
holes. I didn't bother. Grizzly and Enco have these.
Angle Plate-Used to clamp the lower upright on the table, 6"x5"x5" size from
Grizzly.
That's about it for stuff bought specifically for this project. Centerfinders, clamps,
parallels and measuring tools like calipers and mics are things you will need no
matter what project you want to tackle, so I didn't include them in the list. Files,
sandpapers and the like are things I am guessing everybody reading this has, so
they got left off as well.
Of course, you are gonna need a blueprint, unless you have all the dimensions
memorized. Ulfrikr is offering these for a nice price. I printed out my own and
laminated them; keeps 'em nice in the shop.
