Mark over at NCEngravers is machining custom gun slides on Tormach 770 he bought not so long ago. Chech out his YouTube channel, he has made a lot of great videos.

Daniel, it won't let me insert images. I can email you what I'm looking into doing if that's ok?

I'm really looking forward to taking a basic slide and creating works of art like this. But don't have a clue where or how to start??? How to upload an image if the slide I am wanting to customize and then play around with it in can to create the cuts I want...

I also am looking for help on this. I simply can't figure out how to create simple serrations on the template I have. I am new to autocad, having done pretty much only manual milling before this. I am teaching myself autocad... I figured out chamfering and cutting windows, but for the life of me I can't make simple serrations, can't even copy/paste the ones that are already on the template. Is there a function that does this? I have been looking through the tutorial pages, but have not found anything that applies to this. I don't know if I'm simply slow in the head and oblivious, or if there is some process I haven't discovered yet.

Slight correction in terminology: It's Fusion 360, not AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a CAD drafting package, this forum is intended for Fusion 360. Just want to make sure we're on the same page here and talking about the same software..

 

Would you be able to share your Fusion file here?
