ive had my 440 for awhile now this is a project that sort of showcases why i love my tormach .
so i am not a business , i do not make money with my mill . it goes to say that i do not have unlimited funds to spend . i work with a limited amount of tools . this entire project will be done with what tools and scrap metal i have on hand .
there will be near 40 parts on completion . all parts except 2 will be made on my 440 .
starting with the part everything else will be built out from , a screw .
it also happens to be the first of the two parts made on a manual lathe .

Bow sight? Probably far off, but it looks right… two bolt mount, target reticule on a vertical adjustment. And what looks like a stylized bow and arrow on the block…
i have to apologize , i just realized an error i made on my account and its showing under the wrong name and should be stephen and not peggy . maybe someone from tormach can help me change that sometime in the future .
anhow , one detail i should mention with the exception of the very first part made on the lathe i have not measured a single part . i make everything to " fit " i do spend the extra time to square up all my stock . , an er 32 collet block can be your best friend at times .
