What step do you make the holes and how do you machine the holes in the right spot?
-
For making the holes, do you have a different machining operation? Do you surface your stock then make the holes?
-
You will end up with a great part for sure, however you would have to charge a 100 dollars per grip in order to justify the time it would take to do it this way. For it to be profitable I have found you cant s[pend any longer than about 10 min per set

I am looking into building a small cnc mill for making grips and other randoms hobby stuff. I am completely new to the software used for this type of thing. I have found an .igs file for the 1911 grips but I have been trying to add checkering to it in turbocad. I have not been able to figure it out. Any idea's would be appreciated. Do you know where I can find a checkering pattern file?
Merry Christmas!!

These ones are birch, I have some black walnut, mahogany, and maple that I'll be making more out of. This is basically a practice run.

How are you holding your workpiece in place?

@jbmortensen I made some expanding fasteners that are holding in the grip screw holes.

MADJACK, I'm really considering it, it'd take a significant change in programming because this mill is so wimpy. each panel would take a long time. Any specific checkering that you'd want? PM me on the boards if interested, I need to pump out a few sets in wood before I do Al.

Its a Sieg X2 that I retrofitted to CNC.
IN my opinion, its way too small, I've done some serious work with it but its been a pain. Look at the X3 or bigger.
