Best place for carbide bits... update with sort of finished 80% project on pg 2

<< < (6/9) > >>

RobertH:
got my Modulus Arms jig yesterday and here's all the parts and my two New Frontier Armory 80% lowers.





metaldoc:
Impressive looking set of jigs.  Looking forward to a report!

RobertH:
this old thread needs to be resurrected!

i finally got around to doing a lower.  i have worked on it between class and work.  i also did this work when my wife and little ones are out of town.

my impressions so far, noisy, dirty with lube, my back aches and the shavings get everywhere!

first set of drill holes.  i started using a cordless drill, but i soon ran out and bought a corded drill.  faster RPM and more torque and no batteries to change!


another pic of drilling holes:


i thought i had a pic of my router, but i will have to update that later.  and yes, my "workbench" is pretty shaky, which concerned me at first, but now i think it'll be ok.  after i get it totally finished, i will report back on the final product.

bkoenig:
How did your router work?  I just bought the DeWalt version of the Rotozip for some tile work.  I'm wondering if that will work or if it spins too fast.

RobertH:
i use a Bosch Colt 1 HP model.  here's the website: http://www.boschtools.com/Products/Tools/Pages/BoschProductDetail.aspx?pid=PR20EVSK

i only use it on setting 1, haven't had the need or want to go faster.  i haven't broke my endmill yet, so i guess i'm doing just fine.  im almost done routing the fire control area.  i'll get the lower done tomorrow, unless something comes up.
