Milling a Rail for Warp Left Body

[Sweet Tooth]

How should I go about this? Any advice? I think I can get my hands on a drill press, and dremel, but that's about it...

If you're doing it yourself. Get a pipe, wood dowel or what ever you can find that's about the same size of the warp feedneck. Rap some 320 grit sand paper around it, figure out where your center line is going to be on the rail and go to town. Using a dremel will be faster but your also going to get a horrible result if your not careful. Maybe start with the dremel and finish off with the tube to get a pro finish. It's up to you.

or you can send it out to luke for him to do. you can have him go crazy on it for cheap money.

I'd love for luke to do it, but I'm dying to play with it asap. It's not like I'm hacking up a Venomous rail, It is just a RT Pro rail. (I think)

It aluminum so its soft. You should be able to file it down with hand file and some sand paper. Put the body on the rail and see where the feed neck makes contact with the rail. Mark it with something and file it down. Check and repeat.

I've done it with a half-round bastard file, followed by sandpaper then steel wool. It's very quick and simple, just be sure to measure twice and file once.

I used a bench mounted rotary grinder and then a file, it turned out pretty good!

And a 3rd for the file/paper

On my classic rail it wasnt as simple as making a cylindrical cut for just the feed tube, the rectangularish raised support behind the feed tube was blocked by the rail as well. Ended up milling out a groove in the rail as long as the raised rectangular support.
