Hope I can find the pics of part of my never ending project from a few years ago.
Needed to cut 1" pitch on a 4" diameter part 24" long. Here's the kicker, 2" root diameter. Don't remember the angle or radius at the root but you get a sense of the process.
Single point was NG, milling was the only option. 2 pcs. 303 SS and 2 pcs. Delrin. 1 each left hand and right hand.
Not regular screw threads. Feed screws for pleated filter media to glue the ribbons on.
I love a little challenge once in awhile.

I would be interested in hearing more about what you did, and how you went about doing it. I? hope some day to be skilled enough to make a rifling machine, and it looks like what you've done here could be helpful to know.

I know it's not Craftsman or Atlas but a little food for thought. You can really do a lot with a little if necessary. Note the gear motor coupled to the drive motor and chain drive with compound sprockets along with the milling attachment.? A big CNC lathe with live tooling would have eaten this right up but... I only needed 2 each. Dave

Did you see the red marks on one of the sprockets? For a 8 start internal thread with specific start and end orientation. More thread milling! Used to do all that in the lathe, that's a whole different story. Especially when you add ovality to compensate for shrinkage. Dave

More than happy to tell you what I know. Are you trying to do cut or button rifling? Can't really help on either specifically. I have a hammer forged BSA barrel on my hand rolled PCP rifle. Except for the barrel blank, scope and some screws it was made by me. Got pics if you're interested, it's kind of cool. Dave

to you, maybe. To me they raise more questions. Difference in experience. You are a machinist, I am a wannabe. There are clues there, but I'm not educated enough to get them all, just yet. So I asked for further explanation, if he's willing and has time.

Saw the gear motor, and recognized it. Didn't see the chain drive. Was looking at some files I recovered off an older computer drive, for cutting gears on a shaper, with a wire wrapped around a pitch-circle wheel to match the gear being cut. The shaper has a rack-tooth shaped cutter. Sort of got that, but I think while it's similar, yours is more complicated. I make my living fixing machines, so it is neat to learn new stuff!
Thanks!

Bill,? Look where all the gears used to be feeding the gearbox, took "em all off and put the chain/sprocket stuff on. Way cheaper than new gears for kind of a 4 off part! Worked perfect too. I made the milling attachment using a spindle from an old Clausing mill on a custom mount attached to the compound so I could swing it at the required angle, radius at the root was ball endmill.? Once you get past a little thinking about how to do this it's fun! Dave

I'm thinking cut rifling, but button has some advantages, and disadvantages, that differ from those of cut rifling cutters. So I may have to play with both, and see which works better for the things I want to do. I'm thinking something for pistol barrels first, as much for practice and play as anything else. And I'd be delighted to see any photos you want to share!
After a 20+ year hiatus, I've recently gotten back into reloading, and casting bullets, and I've wanted to make a, call it a .45acp Magnum for lack of a better description, 1911-style pistol in the .44mag power range. Or an 1896 Mauser in the .30 cal version. Or both. ;)

I've gotta get some sleep, but once I do, I'm going back and downloading all the photos you've sent to a folder of it's own for study. My weekend is kinda jacked up, as my shift is changing slightly. I was working four 10-hour days, 10pm to 8:30 am, for some months, then they changed it to four 9-hour days, 9pm-6:30am and a 4-hour half-day , 8pm-12am, on Fridays, but that ended yesterday. Tomorrow, we go to five 8-hour days, 10pm-6:30am. And another dollar an hour for a shift differential. Like everything, change is hard, but I'll get used to it. Though I loved the 3-day weekends, and loved the 2.5-day weekends only a little less. I'll be happy with a little more pay, and only a two-day weekend like everyone else. This may make finishing my class easier, too. I've got a dozen or so projects left for the class, and then a brush-up so I can take some of the NIMS certification tests. The school will now pay for as many of them as you want to take. So I might go for everything I think I can pass in the manual machining certifications. I've never worried about certifications before, but I had a really hard time finding a job after my last career fizzled. Might be good to have something that's newer than 20 years old and possibly relevant to current requirements. ;)

That class stuff is already on indefinite hold. Wife thinks she has Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and the process of getting checked out for it has already left her weak and needing major help. Got asked shortly after I woke up to take a leave of absence from my class until this is cleared up or confirmed. She's already said she won't be doing chemo if it is the cancer. Looks like I'll be doing work and Dr. stuff for a while.

This may make finishing my class easier, too. I've got a dozen or so projects left for the class, and then a brush-up so I can take some of the NIMS certification tests. The school will now pay for as many of them as you want to take. So I might go for everything I think I can pass in the manual machining certifications.

Hi Bill, Sorry to hear that, hope things work out for both of you. Good luck, Dave

That class stuff is already on indefinite hold. Wife thinks she has Inflammatory Breast Cancer, and the process of getting checked out for it has already left her weak and needing major help. Got asked shortly after I woke up to take a leave of absence from my class until this is cleared up or confirmed. She's already said she won't be doing chemo if it is the cancer. Looks like I'll be doing work and Dr. stuff for a while.
