First attempt Cutaway

[metallurgy]

I decided to put my milling machine through its paces this afternoon and came a way with a nice cutaway of the master lock combo lock key override cylinder (it was all I had on hand, making this more of a practice).

Here are a few pics






I would like to do this on a full deadbolt cylinder so could anyone recommend a brand with a similar style removable cylinder (preferably cheap ). I bought a kwikset this afternoon but it was more of a one piece design and lends itself poorly to this project.

That looks way nicer than the usual hacksaw/file job I see every so often (not to crap on them, because they still take a lot of work).

Looks like a pro job! I can't wait to see what you come out with next.
