I'm finally getting around to working on my JP Longfellow Remington 700 SA receiver blank. I have a CNC Sieg X2.
I'm working on a jig to hold the blank. My first task will be to drill the scope mounts and then the extractor opening.
My question is this: Is this mill going to be adequate? What methods, speeds, feed rates, end mills, etc. should I use for tackling this solid piece of 4140 still with my small mill?
I've milled some cold rolled steel in the past with mixed results. Most often burning up bits, I think because too slow of a feed rate.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
