"Ghost Gun" Table Top CNC machine

[Great-Kazoo]

You guys aren't wrong, but you are missing the point. The magic milling box is marketed to guys who have no machining training/experience and don't want to, or don't have the time, to learn. The idea that you can mount a 80%, hit go and it is finished off without brain damage is highly sought by the masses who don't know how to work with their hands (or think with their brains).

As an aside, no diy 80% is ever going to be finished to mil specs. .005? with a drill press in an average garage? I would be surprised if the table is aligned with more than a square or a bubble level to the bit. But it doesn't need to be to work, and home built ghost guns don't need to be perfect, just work.

Sounds like an AK flat bending jig. Clamp, press, align, heat treat.

Never folded up an AK receiver. Doubt I would have a hard time with it, but, yeah, there is nothing about a kit assembled AK that is to any spec, other than the "does it work?" standard.

I do appreciate home machinists that have skill and the patience to do things right. Most people have absolutely no concept of how long it takes to machine a single part correctly.
