Mill down a Grand to LP ?

[Steamer861]

I want to mill down my Grand so I can make it a an LP how much do I take off?
I know I can send it in to Rob but from Canada it's more than 2 weeks in the mail
I was hoping to take it to a Friend who works at a machine shop but he's going to want an exact figure on how much to mill down
Does any one know the exact number to mil it down
thanks for any help

Mine is getting milled as we speak. I have 4 others and DAMN do I miss him. :/

I only have the one Grand and waiting the 2 to 3 weeks would be painful

Don't know the measurement but here is a picture of one Rob did for me. It is just above the top of the 510

I took one of mine down to about .5mm above the 510 connection. You can go as low as even with the 510.

Give the machinist an o-ring and an atty to screw into the Reo. The atty should get firm, squeezing the o-ring, and the base of the atty should not bind up hard against the metal of the Reo. If the machinist can understand that, he should be able to screw it up for you - I mean - do it right for you

ETA - of course, you must give the guy an atty with a base diameter bigger than the catch cup diameter (i.e. 15mm plus) for the instructions above to make sense.

You have to mill 3mm off from top to achieve an acceptable LP.
