The Karl's are dead. Long live the Karl's..... (1 Viewer)

[Josh Kifer]

Everyone loves the Karl's... But, those damn NCV and off denoms make them a little harder to use. So, as my first ever Milling project..

(Picture stolen From jeep)

So. I built a rig, made a Jig.... And here we go!

And.... Perfection.....

Now. Two more racks of THC yellows must be sacrificed!

Only time will tell if milling was the best or worst thing to ever happen to this hobby lol

I will never forgive myself for selling these! They were safe and sound in my chip china cabinet before they were unsolicitedly bought just to be sent to their doom.

I was against milling when I started. Took a few years to appreciate it but not really get it. @wonderpuddle kinda flipped the script. Then I got the HK 10s.... And the Claim Stakes.... And options being thin, these were perfect for a Frac.

If it makes you feel any better. They are going to be getting a Karl's Silver Club Laminated inlay, so it shall stay a Karl's club chip.....

I love these chips and was so close to embarking on a milling project with them. More power to you and I am following!

 

[wonderpuddle]

They look great. Curious to see the end result of this project.

Don't worry guys, it's only a rack. It's not like the other 2 and a half are going to meet the same fate

Dave and I don’t always agree (or acknowledge it), but when we do, it is something like this.

I’m sorry that you feel that way. But they were offered back first to those that I bought from.

The ol ovo! It's a classic!

 

[rimmerryan]

The thought of milling chips was originally an unheard of idea... however I have completely changed my mind and think it might be the only way to bring otherwise unusable chips into the realm of playability !!!

You snag a rack of incredible hotstamped TH&C chips but they have some horrible denomination or they are a singleton and you won’t ever be bale to put a mixed set or complete set together... Mill ‘em!

Me too!

Seems you're doing something right, those mill jobs look to be dead center.
Been thinking about milling myself but see a lot of off center results.
Did it take a lot of tries or adjustments to get it centered like that?

7 test chips. But, first chip was pretty dead on.

Edit - now, depth took a bit more....
