No you can’t. But I think he would benefit greatly by purchasing a few “ basic” machinist tools. Even cheap ones. Starting with a DTI even a cheap one . $20-$30
The best ways to measure a dovetail is using two gage pins or a set of Cameron Balls. And ya you need a milling vise or a small tool makers vise to keep the parts square.
Yea I keep seeing people with these drill press vises and it looks like it's putting too much leverage on the bed and it's moving. I don't think you need anything bigger than 3 inch vise on a 3 inch bed
Your comment section consist of people who either work for NASA... or potheads. Thanks for this post, considering adding a mill to my arsenal. Cool vid sir!!!

Yes, buy a milling vice, not a drilling vice. See below link. www.ebay.com/itm/3-Inch-Vise-Precision-Milling-Drilling-Machine-Clamp-Vice-CNC-Vise-Plier-Milling/264498535879?hash=item3d95575dc7:g:DY8AAOSwushdpIWH
I hope you weren't considering using this video as a tuition device for those that have never used a mill......it would be better to use it to show what you might be able to do with this quite modest but handy and very economically priced mill when you get a bit better at it.
I really like the size of these machines, they don’t take up a lot of room, if I really need a big part made, there’s plenty of people that have big machines that you can ask to borrow a little bit of time on them. There’s an off a lot of small projects that can be done on the small machines. Do you have to compensate for backlash and a few other downfalls but overall we’re happy with the machines. Thanks for your thoughts
@@livefree6878 You know people who would let you use their milling machine ? That's unheard of . I won't even let anyone in my shop let along use a machine !! Its because most people have no clue what their doing and would get hurt ! For instance ,.. look at the vise your using , That vice is not supposed to be used for milling , Its for drill press only and there's a very good reason for it . You may get hurt very badly one day using that vice in the mill.
Thanks for the video, Im new to machining and I learn something from most machining videos, but I will add to the chorus of comments and say clearly you use the term "precision" in relative terms. Lol..... but it is a learning process and we all have something to teach and learn
dont know if you guys cares but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend recently =)
Y’all need to stop it with the fingernails. Homie is probably shredding bluegrass after a day of being a badass on the mill. Stop whining on TH-cam and get more hobbies all of you.
WHAT'S WITH THE FINGER NAILS ??? KINDA CREEPY ON A GUY ! OH WAIT , I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO JUST ASSUME . WHITH THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE NOW A DAYS...
You don't use inches or fractions of inches when you're working with "precision" stuff. You use millimeters and fractions of millimeters. :P Inches are best used for anything between a 25.4mm (1") and 1 foot, and then fractions of feet. Fractions of inches are what machinists have nightmares about.
I don't know who told you that , but they were not a machinist ! That's not true at all ! Do you really think milling machines an lathes , shapers are all restricted to mm ? what a dumb ass ! Glad I work on my own projects.
where did you get that Fred Flint stone hammer. Must be a early HF purchase
I had to pause the video as soon as I seen your mallet and comment. Bad ass man!!!
This guy works with what he has got. Can't blame him for that.
No you can’t. But I think he would benefit greatly by purchasing a few “ basic” machinist tools.

Ima thinking about removing the dovetails and putting in linear rails for the z axis

like what he doing but dude those finger nails!!
glad I wasn't the only one thinking this
calvin smith I'll bet he plays classical guitar as well as gunsmithing.
Backlash is not play in the ways! Backlash is play in the lead screws or nuts.
Those really cheap mini mills probly do have play in the ways as well ! You can pick them up an walk off ! No rigidity ....
A nice Mitutoyo dial calipers with a $7 drilling vice, not made for milling?? Not good!
Precision with a wooden Mallet?
LOVE THE HAMMER ! THANKS FOR VIDEO!
Time to buy a precision vise

Nasa is for Pusssies...The ones who comment are hard men who work hard jobs...where you use muscles as well as brains...

You have a very valuable skill, the ability to think outside the box.
Nail clippers dude, lol, but good video
I got that vise from harbor freight, you got any tips every thing I machine flys right out.
Yeah, that vice is a drilling vice not intended for milling.....EVER.
Yes, buy a milling vice, not a drilling vice. See below link.

Thank you.
Nice project but beyond me why on a single action revolver.
Og would recognize that primitive hammer.

Nice 🔨
Why not just cut a picatinny rail on top and make the bottom fit your handgun? And yes trim the fingernails.
the nails

@Leighton Alberto definitely, I have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
Precision????? Paper templates, material moving in a $10 drill vise with only a .010 cut and a mallet made from tree branches!!!! Seriously!!!!!

nicholasscholten you obviously don’t work in manufacturing. We use the decimal imperial system all day and no that doesn’t mean millimeters.
No you use milli-inches.

No you've got that backwards, metric is what gives machinists nightmares
Systems Planet yes they do. Friggin' machinerinas doing the machinist ballet.
