Sorry to dig up an old thread (I read where that might be bad form). I'm been searching around a while and haven't found an answer to the question yet...so I thought I should just ask.

The front panel (High Power) cut on the slide...how deep can you go with a bushing gun ? How much material needs to be left for the bushing groove ?

Are you starting with a slide with no bushing groove cut ? Welding it up ?

I have an STI Commander slide that I'd like to make this cut on. I took a (very) rough measurement. The groove measured ~ 0.065 deep. It sure looks deeper than that, so I'll likely need to go back and check that again before I get serious about it. The slide's side wall in that area is just under 0.115.

(Moderators, I apologize if this is in the wrong place.)

Every slide will differ. You can only measure the bushing cut vs the slide width on that particular slide, then determine if there is enough metal for the cut. I usually don't do a HP cut deeper than .020.

Kyle, do your Glocks know that you're messing around with a 1911 on the side? :D
