hey guys, just got my hands on a IPS seat with KDPS locking nut, i intend to only have a foregrip of around an inch maybe a bit longer. how would i go about trimming both parts ie thread on IPS and sleeve on KDPS?

thanks

Dremel tool works best for me. Tape the area where you want to cut it off and then use one of their cut-off wheels.

i turn mine on a wood lathe, lock the hood up tight and taoe it off so it doesnt move, then attack it with 1 of my wood working lathe tools to get a nice clean cut.

you reckon spinning it in fast drill and using a fine hack saw blade?? i dont have a dremel or anything like that

you could definatly try...i have tried using a hacksaw blade on the lathe, but it tneds to jump out of place easy, so i switched to the bevel blade...

MAsking tape a few turns to be used as a staightedge. Fine tooth saw (I used asn Exacto Miter saw). Make a cut, turn 45 degrees, cut, turn, cut turn. 3 minutes later you'll be done.

I use a bandsaw now, bu tbefor ethat I'd have saw all my seats and never had a problem.

That was a good suggestion Billy. I use the tape and a drimel cut off wheel. then fine tune it with a file.
