For file translation have you tried step (stp) files or stl files. These two types of files are frequently used between different cad and or cad-cam programs. I use Inventor and have brought files over from Solid Works many times in these two formats.

Welcome to the forum. Sherline CNC machines CAN be used manually without changing anything. JIM

Steve, Maybe you might consider another package (with an extra charge of course) that would include G-codes for the parts you used CNC on. I know everyone doesn't use the same post, but I'm sure it could be tweekable. Something to consider. Thanks for the awesome coverage of your build. Jim E

BW, Do you happen to know the name of the book? I guess he has a couple of them out. Thanks Jim

The guy that I bought my plans from (same as Rolland), also sells the gun completed for $10,900. It has to be shipped to a licensed gun dealer where you can pick it up. Jim

Beautiful build Rolland I too have those plans and now have all the raw materials to get started. Did you gather the raw materials on your own or did you get the raw material package from Paul? Ought to be fun at the range at 600 RNDS per minute. Have you thought about making the broadwell feed...

Try Discount Machine. That's where I got mine. They plug into the digital scales on the x and y axis. They work very well and have a magnet in them so you can mount them anywhere.

I got them. Thanks Dave
