nope

It's really not doable. Hand murdering or overlabel are the real only options....

Hahaha. Yeah I’ve asked a few times and he said he doesn’t do RHCs. Maybe he’s changed his mind
@Josh Kifer ??

Curious as to why.

Yeah but they have hotstamps so can’t really murder

Why is it a problem to mill RHCs?
OP
OP
mostly becaus me inlay size and recess is too close to RHC mold. Causes chipping the mold?? Something like that
Milling requires sized bits to do it. They come in 7/8 or 1 inch. RHC is larger. It could be done on CNC, but overlabeling does the same thing without the effort.

No 1 1/16 inch bits available?
I have a 1 1/4 bit, but it chops off the edge of the mold. A custom sized bit would be needed to make it happen, and I'm not sure that would be worth the effort.

Didn’t know that , Learn something new
Nope. Not a common size in the appropriate bit.
It's not a "change mind" issue, it's more of it's really not doable past CNC or someone making a custom bit. That's alot of work for something we already have ways to do it.
I only use Magnate bits and know they don't have the size. I haven't adventured out to others, but Magnate does a fantastic job on 7/8 and 1 inch.
And I'll mill whatever someone wants, but I also do my best to explain why it can be risky or a bad idea. I never want a customer to have expectations and receive something they are disappointed in or the chips being ruined. Apart of dealing with me is total transparency.
I am not the end all of options, but I try and at least do it the right way.

Yeah I use the Magnate myself. I do have those two Amazon brands as well; Excel and Yonico I think. They are usable but I definitely recommend everyone just get the Magnate. I don’t have any future plans for milling RHCs but I am sure someone will try it at some point with the 1-1/8 from China via eBay.

someone post a picture of what kind of bit to look for. I'll look for one. I have a friend that does granite fabrication and can make any size bit needed. They will be diamond edged though Lol

I think you are talking about the 27mm t-channel (wood working) bit? The issue with that bit is it is sharp on the edges and the center "rail" (for lack of a better description) on the bottom has a gap. Theoretically, you could "double mill" (7/8" and then the 27mm) to git a flat bottom but I don't believe anyone has tried it.
I did order the 27mm (on eBay - Chinapak) to try it for myself.

I am glad you posted this. I had no idea either. I’ve been looking to pick up some solid RHC’s to have milled to use as a frac in a custom set. On to plan B.

No, there is actually a 1-1/8” bottom cleaning bit on eBay now. I had never seen one before but someone just found it.
Yeah I bought one of those t channel bits to attempt double milling but had not gotten to it. Honestly I have no desire to mill RHCs so it was pure experimentation and low on my priorities.
