to finish? Drill press good enough?
The recommendation against the drill press always confused me. I know they don't want you to drill all the way through to the other side but just cause you have a drill press, does not mean you can't control that.
I expect they don't want you to use a drill press cause with a hand drill you can feel it break through the side easier.
They give you a milling bit which you dont even need unless you had a drill press and an xy vise or xy table. Dremmel is still easier.
No. Hand drill and dremel. They recommend against using a drill press.
Cool, thanks! How easy is it to FUBAR it?

So as mentioned, MarineGunBuilder on YouTube has a ton of videos that are pretty helpful on doing this. I did my first build a few days ago, I wanted to pick up a Dremel workstation, but of course everywhere near me did not have it in stock, and I didnt feel like waiting. Figured, plenty of people do it with a drill, and went for it. Well, the shitty drill bit that P80 provides, one broke when I was drilling the final hole, so that sucked. Aside from that, I guess I can't keep a drill straight, since some of my holes seem to be slightly uneven, where the exit on the inside of the frame is slanting a tiny bit. Now I got the locking block and rear rail to line up enough, and the pins do fit, but have to use a punch for sure. Then theres the issue with the front locking block that is absurdly tight on the frame. So I need to sand/grind it down...so maybe I fubar the thing, maybe not, it is fun though lol
Gst 9 on 5d? Any input on it? I’m totally new.
