This is how I've been cutting extractor slots, and it works, so I've stuck with it. Today, I had to cut two for a set of double rifle barrels I'm assembling. There has to be a better way.
In addition to the lathe, I have a vertical mill, and I'd like to hang the barrel vertically off the side of the table to cut it, but haven't worked out a good way to hold the barrel yet. Cutting off the table with my Fray would not be a problem.
I feel like there has to be a better way, but I've been too busy with real work to focus on this. Please offer suggestions for a better way than kludging my lathe to act as a horizontal mill.
