This is not for conversational, I do not use any mazatrol. This is for making the machine control behave like an older control that would preform polar milling. Polar milling is an option that was not turned on for my machine. This allows me to polar mill with out the option. I do not know how to do anything with conversational.

Hi!
I've come across the tri-top sort of 0 percent build you have here and finally am going to tri top my slide and i just wanted to ask you, how did you setup the slide for the angled side cuts? Do you have any resources you might point me towards? I have a precision mathews mill, so its got the uhmph, and DRO.
But seriously out of everything slide on anything be it 1911 or other, your particular, sort of rough cut tri topped in my eyes is the absolute pinnacle in aesthetics for me, and I would very much like to come close to your build!
