"From my cold dead hands"
Screw that. I have a high-capacity floor-standing drill press with multiple chucks and a belt-drive trans-a-mission. Put a cross-slide table on it, too.
And I have waaaayy more than 10 drill bits.
Jesus! We need to ban private arsenals like yours!!!
Background checks for drill bits and no more than 1 a week purchases.
"From my cold dead hands"
Sadly, working on it. I only have 5 more lowers to do. Did 8 last weekend. Banning the tools is just nuts.
Whose jig setup are you using and do you use a drill press or router?
Thanks
I am using a 5D tactical jig. I have a mill, which I use for the pilot hole, but you can do that easily with a drill press or a handheld drill (which isn't as easy). I can get a nice result with my mill, but it takes me about 2 hours to do a lower. With the 5D tactical jig and a handheld router it takes about 45 minutes. The result is every bit as nice.
I've been buying 80% lowers whenever I see them on sale for the last 3-4 years. I'd just put the box on the shelf. I have 23. I'm good.

Thanks for the info. I came across their website a while back and that setup looked impressive. It is nice to hear feedback from someone who has used it. As I recall they even provide recommendations for which router to use.
Is this even possible anymore? Similarly, SNI's acronym thread OP probably can't be modified now.Welcome Back!!!
I need to remove you from the missing members thread.
I have the DeWalt that they recommended. It works great.

Glad to hear, I just picked up the Dewalt. With the number that'll you have done have you formed preferences for 80% lowers from particular vendors or 7075 forged vs billet?
I would hope the lowers are pretty much the same from one vendor to another at the 80% mark.
How many lowers can you get through with the end mill they sell?
