A New Leaf

[xrancid_milkx]

Based on some of the really cool custom jobs I've seen here on AO, I've decided to give it a try for myself. I'm sure my work will suck at first, or might not ever improve. But I still want to try. Although I have a few questions. I already have a dremal and all the tools neccessary to make things. I just need to know what kind of aluminum I need to buy. I'm pretty sure there are different kinds, although I could be wrong. There is a place near here where I can buy aluminum, I just need to know what kind to ask for. I think this is something everyone should try at least once.

What are you trying to make? If you are thinking of making a new body for your mag AGD is selling Slugos in the online store, but you will most likely need something a little more than a Dremal tool.

Yeah definately are going to need some more tools than a dremel for a body :) hehe

Troy- how are things man? Remember me? You playing for the Lions heh? Thats great!!! Still going to school at uwm? Well take care!

sounds good to me..... If i never got my hands on an SFL, which I did... heh heh... I would be grabbing up a Sluggo Body or two.... bringing it to the local machinist and getting it done up all pretty like....

You can't mill a body with a dremel.You need big milling machines,like a CNC machine.

Sure you can, you'll just spend 500 hours and $500 worth of grinding wheels to get it done :)

You can do anything a Dremel :)

you dont need a $60000 CNC machine to play around with milling. look at some of the hobby milling machines. they are about $500.

CNC was just an example,because I don't know the names of the others:).Verticle mill?
