Mike,
I do not have the CAD/CAM/G-gode files to machine the Sheepdog scales... sorry. Commander (standoff and back spacer), Mini Commander (standoff), CQC-7 (back spacer, standoff and flipper) and Horseman Mini CQC-8 are all the Emerson's I have CNC files for.

I do not have the CAD/CAM files for the Kwaiken.
The way it works for creating the necessary files is having a disassembled Kwaiken and scanning the liners and scales. The scanned files get imported into CAD for tracing of the profile and locating the center points of the critical landmarks. The newly created CAD files get ported over to the CAM application for the creation of the tool paths.
With the files a proof machining can be made to insure accuracy and precision. Adjustments to the code are made at this time IF needed and the code is proofed again if necessary.
The code is locked down once all is perfect.
This process takes 20 - 30 hours typically. I can not devote that amount of non billable time to a project when there are orders in the queue. Development of new product is all done in my very limited free time... sometimes on breaks and lunch hour... sometimes after hours... and at times... on weekends. This can and does take weeks or even months to string enough free time together.
The last consideration is having the expectation of recovering monetarily for the hours invested to develop a new product with future sales.

I've never liked the smell of machined Micarta... it's odor is much like that of burnt electronics. I'm not certain if the exposure is a cumulative effect... but I've reached the point that even a small whiff of machined Micarta triggers my gag reflex. I'm not machining Micarta at present until I can try out some cartridge filter respirators to find relief.

Thank you and sorry for the delay. I 100% would like a set, my Mini Commander G-10 has torn up so many pants pockets, it's no joke. I assume these are far smoother? Let me know how best to to work with you for a set. TY!

Can you please contact me clayton00grand@gmail.co . I have a cancer ribbon project I want to work onI posted this in another thread... Emerson Gallery and Glossary... but had a request for more detail with regards to fit and finish. I thought I'd start a stand alone thread to address that...
The attached images are of the first set of scales off the CNC for the Emerson Horseman... which I just worked up in CAD/CAM and added to my portfolio. The scales are black G10 with a FragBurst texture. They came out spot on and the g-code has been locked down.
Following the glamor shots below I also did a photo tour showing fit and finish...
