Description: Published model for a Nummech Axe body blank in its unmilled state. This model includes pockets for eye covers which are separate components.
Note: You must double-check your designs to ensure your new cosmetics don't extend beneath the eye cover area which is much wider than the rest of the breech area. Use the "Tube model" body to verify your design.

Part: Num-Axe extended Slug body - Tube model

Description: This body is functionally identical to the unmilled blank in terms of internals. The outside has been altered to show the minimum amount of material required to make a functional Axe. This model can be used as a safety check, or the model can be used as a starting point to "add" cosmetic features outwards from the tube shapes.
Note: You must double-check your designs to ensure your new cosmetics aren't too deep. Do not create any cuts into the eye cover section, otherwise you'll come in contact with the eye cover screw head, detent spring, etc.

Part: Nummech side fixture assembly

Created by: Ydna via Nummech Products
Description: This file shows one possible sample body workholding fixture which can be used to mill cosmetics onto a Slug body. This fixture can be used to position the body in order to access the right side, left side, and top side. This is absolutely the most simple fixture you could use on any type of milling machine, although there are many possible ways to complete the same job.
The fixture uses the following hardware: 1qty 10-24 x 1" set screw, 6qty 6-32 x 1" set screw; 4qty 1/8"dia x 5/8" dowel pins.
Note: this fixture is not meant for use with an Empire OEM Axe body. Factory bodies do not have alignment pinholes.

Axe Slug body, printed reference sheets
Created by: Ydna via Nummech Products
Description: These drawings are meant to accompany a Slug body to be of use for any machinist looking to design a fixture or otherwise perform work on the unmilled body. The drawings show details on how the bodies were made, areas that can be used for accurate measurements, along with areas that are not accurate. The reference sheets show drawings depicting the sample milling fixture (also available for download).
