Sorry I missed your post. I have a Laguna IQ which came with Vcarve Pro software. I am kind of embarrassed to admit to how many 80% lowers I have completed. The point to be made here is I have done very well using a Jet vertical Mill with manual feed. Even have experience using the so called universal jig. I am not using a drill press for any milling operations. I am most impressed with the 5D jig but how the heck does anyone justify that price?

Still, apparently my biggest problem so far using the CNC Router to do an 80% lower involves understanding the difference between feed rate of the head motion and the surface feed speed of a rotating tool. I need to slow down even more. That is where the guidance that I need probably is located.
