is gun checkering doable on a lid?

Sure, hand checker or machine checker, It will just look like knurl .
Hard to keep clean. Wont be as appreciated as on a fine Firearm.

If a larger diamond could be dialed in to the lid depth than the gun it could be wham bam plastic brushed w/water.

I'm nutty about checkering 'cause I checkered a big Chevy Bow Tie on a teak door panel. Teak is soft thick grain, not at all like tight walnut. After each couple of passes it had to be drenched in 50/50 varnish and thinner.

A Porsche is a functional car. The checker on the gun grip is functional too - it helps you hand & palm grip so the trigger finger can be loose/gentle - hence smooth. When you transfer that design to the lid, you loose all the function. Some call that "rice" other scall it other things. But it isn't true to the machine...

neither is my sub woofers.

Ron, I'm just trying to prevent you from committing an aethetic perversion... pretty stiff jail terms for that...

Christain, sweet dude! Let me know when you get a 5th axis for it and we'll make some 901 heads!!!!

Don, that is the sweetest bit of CAD I had seen in a while! I've got an idle 5 axis, but am stuck on the other side of the world - pity...

if nobody else steps up by tomorrow I'll order a couple of sausages and tell the butcher that I want to zero out my scale with the sausage weight.

I thought I had the wts. of these in my spreadsheet (?) Did you check at rennlight.com?

what do I do after I go to rennlist ?

wrong address - read again -- rennLIGHT

find the wt. data spreadsheet; then go to the engine tab

BTW, there is or was another page at the end that gives precision info - anything weighed by me will be accurate tho - incl. the PMO covers -- if it has a column to the R w/somebody's name etc. then take it as anecdotal but reasonable data

oh.. it's my salt air prob again.

I shall return. http://www.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/wat6.gif
