Remington bolt knob modification

[Slickrick0999]

So, bought a mini mill this year and one of the first things we made was a custom fixture to do bolt knob conversions.
Check it out and let us know what you think...

Nice job on the fixture looks like it works great. It is very gratifying when you can make your own tooling and it works like you want it to.

That is a great setup. Nicely done!

What kind of bit is that you are using to make it round prior to cutting the threads? Looks like what I use for cutting wooden plugs but I didn't know they made them for metal?

I always thought doing bolt knobs this way is much better than having that thing flop around on a lathe. Nice work! What is the fixture made from steel?
