This video demonstrates an advanced gunsmithing technique for relocating a cam hole on a 1973 Shovelhead Harley-Davidson alternator motor. The process involves welding the original hole, precisely locating the new position using a milling machine with a digital readout and dial indicator, and then carefully machining the new hole to accept a cam bearing. The instructor emphasizes the importance of using the right equipment for accuracy and efficiency.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for installing a custom-fit front sight on a CO2 gun using a salvaged rifle sight and JB Weld. The process involves precisely recutting the sight's contour to match the barrel diameter using a milling machine and endmill, followed by secure attachment with JB Weld. The instructor highlights the importance of accurate measurement and machining for a proper fit, even on a less expensive firearm.

Roy discusses upgrading his older Grizzly bench milling machine to a new model from Little Machine Shop. The new mill offers enhanced precision, a built-in digital readout with a large screen, an automatic tool lock, and a quieter servo motor with a belt drive, contrasting with the older gear-driven model's noise. This upgrade is intended to improve efficiency and precision in his gunsmithing and woodworking projects.
