extractor slot

Rick,

after seeing the cutter photo above, I think you could easily make a similar cutter for the Luger extractor cut just by using a slot cutter tool that was chucked into your headstock (so you could make indexed movements to each tooth) and use a high speed grinding bit in a tool post grinder that was mounted to your crossfeed so you could take advantage of the crossfeed stop to make the teeth uniform. just take VERY small bites with the grinder till you get the contours that you want...

Good Luck and let us know how it works out... Try a used slot cutter as a guinea pig first of course....
