appreciate that!

Right on!

Nice! Makes me want to ship mine out even more. Been looking on their Instagram to figure out which cuts I like best.

Do you prefer milled slides over mos I’m new to it and thinking about milling mine for a Leupold delta point pro

@@codytrimble2618 if spending that much money definitely go with something tried and true durability wise and invest in an RMR type2. I definitely prefer the milling over an MOS

@@jagerwerksok I got a gen 3 G22 that I want get a RMR cut for a Trijicon how do I go about this keep in mind I’m. A caveman Boomer

You must be new to KZfaq😁 If you go off the the comments machinists, pilots, welders, chefs, psychiatrists, doctors, SEALs, lawyers, etc, all have nothing better to do than watch KZfaq and comment on videos.

Would this work on a Mazak too? On the Mazak 510C I'm running, it will ready the next tool before the tool change if I program with the built in Mazatrol. But it won't implement this if I program with Mastercam.

@@SchweinungHD you can modify your post processor to do it (again it only works with side mount tool changers) I made a post processor for FANUC to pre-position the next tool automatically. Also, I’ve never use mazatrol but for FANUC or HAAS you can just put a “T(whatever tool number)” in the middle of the program that’s currently running, I put it somewhere after the H and D values have already been picked up, just in case. And make sure you don’t put the M6 out of habit

@@jacobbowling6247 cool! I'll look into it 😁

It works with Mazak just fine.

I actually face palmed thinking the same thing.

I was in PAIN watching this programming. They cut more air than metal 😂

Respectfully, would you mind giving more of an explanation for us non-machinists. Specifically what is a helical entry in this context as well as an open contour, and why is it not ideal for this application? Genuinely curious.

​@@johnlilley9363 Open air contour means a pocket with fewer then 4 walls. After the first tool runs there is really only a wall left at the muzzle and hammer end of the slide. The sides are open. At :43 he could have dropped to his cutting depth outside of the part to be machined then enter the cut using the side of the tool rather then plunging/ramping in using the end of the tool. If possible it's preferred to drop the tool into empty space to it's cutting depth then run the tool path. If you don't have free space to drop the tool into then the next best method is cutting in a downward spiral/helix motion as the tool enters the material. At 2:41 you can see he used a helix path with the smaller tool. Here, as with the first tool, he could have entered the part by dropping the tool to depth outside the part. Entering the material using a helix puts less stress on the tool. Sometimes a helix just won't fit the part geometry. In cases like this you can use a zig zag straight line ramp to get to depth. It's not as nice to the tooling as a helix, but it's ok. Plunging straight vertically into material with an end mill is a terrible way to treat tooling and should be avoided. Basically there is a bunch of wasted time and bad machining practices in this operation.

@@waadgaad2024 Yeah, It's pretty bad.

Did you get your slide back? What did you have done? Thinking of doing this to my g19. Which red dot sight did you get?

@@TexasRedneck yep! I got an RMR cut for my Holosun 507C, and I got the corner cuts to help with press checks

@@jimtran93 nice!

Was it expensive? I’m looking to do my edc g30 and g21

@@mr.sluggz5420 I'm sure there are cheaper places that do a faster and rougher job. But when it comes to my main tool, I didn't want to send it off to a random local shop. There is a good reason people still send in their slides even when they have a 2+ month lead time

Thank you!

About to send mine in. How long was the wait?

@@daddyden72 Was right at 8 weeks door to door with the nitride coating which adds a couple of weeks. Definitely worth the wait!

agreed!

working on it!

Come back to this video in a few years and spot things to improve. Almost nothing in this video is right.

Can I have one?

I initially read this thinking that you had an HK P7 RMR cut. This was my immediate response, before re-reading kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7t3q6d3nNS9gWw.html

when they did your p07. did u mount your optic directly to the slide, or did u purchase a mount separately and attach the optic to that?

If it was visible, there would be an insane about of vibration

thank you!

Thinking about sending my G19 how long is the wait time?

My ordered was placed 4/03/21 and the last update was 4/07/21 saying they received the slide. Nothing since, but I will update once the status changes.

@@Dream_Build_Explore Per our FAQ there are 3 status updates. Feel free to read about them. thanks!

How was turn around time?

@@LFODTACTICAL It was awhile, 2 months almost.

Another idiotic comment. So tell us about all the other machines that run for years and years. 90% of machine failures are people that do not take care of their machines.

Hi Chris I’ve never heard of bottom wiper geometry before and think it would really help me in what I do, do you have any more info?

I wish I knew what that meant. 😂

You’re correct, there is a lot of waste in this program.

Only reasonable explanation is they what to create a pattern from the tool path which is why the small cutters are used including the helical lead ins, but that still doesn’t explain why the initial roughing tool has a helical lead in

@@Kyran31 but no reason to create a pattern.

I know Pierson work holding do something where they intentionally machine something with a specific tool path to create an aesthetically pleasing visual, it isn’t functionally necessary however, this could be the same, I have no idea what this even does to be honest

Judging by how much air they're cutting, they're complete amateurs in manufacturing. I doubt they even know what SPC is. They do good work, but it's because they know what quality looks like, not because they're efficient at achieving it.

Seems to me a lot of air got cut.

Honestly it's either for the look looks of the toolpath or it's inexperience. I'm a machinist and programmer working in the Aerospace industry and while I know that their quality is great, watching this video hurt me so much! The tools (all of the endmills) spend soooo much time cutting air. Wasted toolpathing and wasted time means waster money. What was a 16-minute video at 70% speed would be 11 minutes at 100% speed. The cut shouldn't have taken longer than 5 minutes. No wonder they're always so booked. They need better programmers.

@@JosephAguirre , totally agree. It seems inexperienced programming and a basic haas pocket cycle used for everything. I cut 500 brinell, or 50 Rockwell all day every day and remove 500 times as much material in 6 mins. Flame cut blanks as well. Hope these guys get on top of it and succeed long time as there seems to be a market for it. Also looks like a 50 taper machine so no need for the smallest tooling. But hey, if customer is happy to pay, who are we to argue?

Lol you have to wait 6 months now

@@VURGINN s as long as the job is done properly idc lol

they don't want to show their true runtimes. Like how the next tool isn't rotated into position while the previous is still cutting. Plus the stated no fluid for visual.

That actually makes perfect sense, I didn't think of that! Great way to protect their toolpaths and programs in general from theft I suppose.

@@shanel4348 ..and people saying "f$%k !!! I paid $100 (or whatever it is) for 8 minutes worth of machining!!!

We will take care of the channel liner.

You're spot on. I'm a machinist and programmer in Aerospace and I found myself wondering the same things. They obviously take great care in their work and that's why their quality is high, but whoever their machinists and programmers are, do not know what they're doing.

the chice of tool path is driven by the fact that any error in roughing wold destroy someones slide . finishing the whole area with one tool is safer even when its slower . how many slides would you like to buy for the extra speed .

@@garyweber1724 lot easier to have a roughing problem when your dancing around with a tiny tool thats only going to break. I understand what you're saying though. But there is no way that tiny endmill can produce as good of finishes and flatness. Especialky on an RMR cut where flatness would be very important.

@@garyweber1724 , nah mate. Just inexperienced. Quality may be great...efficiency is totally poor.

We only offer coating for the entire slide.

@@jagerwerks hmmm is the nitride coating as good as the original glock finish? Im thinking about sending mine to you guys this week, but i really like the original finish of the glock.

@@dragon0361 Yup! most say its better. Feel free to read the reviews on that product on the website.

@@jagerwerks done deal, im pullin the trigger

Just Google rmr footprint

Hey and why do they remove so much material?

Took less than 30 days to get mine back.
