I needed to make some holes in some Chimeras to accept the SM turret for a Hydra conversion. I asked a machinist at my place of work and he offered up some time on a CNC machine. I expected them to come out much better then I could manage with a drill and vice at home, but I didn't think they would look this clean.

The best part was how the lip was preserved. Looks like it was cast that way.

Very nice Its alwaays worth making friends with poeple who have access to resorces you do not have like laser cutters and cad software. I'm still looking for a friend with a flow jet cutter tho.
