i offered up my glock 35 slide to a machine shop friend of mine who wanted to add some lightening cuts in the slide. He works in a nice shop with some large equipment and can turn out some nice work. When they dropped a very new carbide bit on the slide it wanted no part of milling a cut. Is there a special bit or something i need to know to make this go better. It seamed to barely go through the finish.
 
I don't know much about machining, but have small Enco mill and cut a Glock slide with PTG carbide end mills. It was obviously pretty hard, but I didn't have any trouble ..... just a bit of a pucker factor cutting on something I never tried before and heard so much about.
 
dont want to high jack someones thread but i do offer this as a service. it seems as some of you like the work that i am doing and if you are interested pm me and we can go over the details. i do this as side work so i am cheap and have a fast turn around time.


well shit looks like my 19 will most likely end up in the mill because of you...
