    Default Ar 15 Jig

    Has anyone ever used one to complete an 80 percent lower. I think it would be fun to build a couple of these but don't want junk. Also, feedback on how easy it is to use would be nice as I am by far not a manufacturer. I have all the other tools required. Here is the link below.

    As a former machinist, I'd love to know what all's involved in completing an 80% lower. All I can imagine is screwing it up horribly without having a milling machine to work with.

    I have a 5axis NC Mill in my shop and it sure is nice for this type of work.

    This jig has depth gauges built in. Just follow those, set the router depth tightly, and you're golden. You follow the top plate of the jig with the non-cutting part of the end mill to get the right dimensions.

    Sending PM.

    Great jig though.

    I have done a few on that jig. Have one handy if you want to look before buying a lower.

    Kevin, I own one of these. You are welcome to borrow it.

    They're good to go. Watch out for the different types of aluminum. They require different techniques
