BRAND NEW bits from 80 Percent Arms that they sell specifically for the Easy Jig.
They cut fine with the hand drill, probably just a case of Harbor Freight "quality'.
I'm in the middle of milling my second lower with the same bits, still cutting fine, with the drill and router.Galations 6:9...And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Re: SEPA Milling Party?
I use reamers for my lowers. Or I drill *just undersized & use fine sandpaper to bring to regency fit. I do everything on my mill. I hate loose fitting pins, safety, etc.

Re: SEPA Milling Party?
Frequently. An adjustable reamer is a hand tool and should only be used to remove about .002-.005" (depending on hole diameter) while turning it with a tap handle/wrench. They work fine when used like that. But good ones (US made) are pretty darn expensive. The cheap import ones are usually pretty crappy.

Re: SEPA Milling Party?
OK, I just ran through this thread and have a few things that might help. I purchased a 5DTactical pro jig last month. It took about a month to get the jig and accessory tool kit. I ordered the special end mill that screws directly to the router without using the collet. Tonight I milled a 80% lower using a DeWalt DWP611 1/4"router and it took me about 1 hour to finish. It came out pretty good for a first try. I would highly recommend the 5DTactical jig. It is a "no touch" jig, meaning that the end mill never comes in contact with the jig. The end mill has three short cutting flutes. I have $264.00 in the Jig and tool kit and an additional $134.00 in the router. I figure that it will cut at least 30+ lowers ( the end mill may have to be sharpened/replaced at some point). That would be about $14.00 per use if it were to be a group endeavor. If I can figure out how to post pics I will put up a couple.

My son and I visited Tactical Machine while in Florida for Bike Week a couple years ago. They gave us each 2 80% lowers. I really need to get started on them one of these days.Masters Degree from, School of Hardknocks and College of Common Sense

Re: SEPA Milling Party?
I also have the 5D Tactical jig, used it yesterday to mill out two 80% lowers. Took about an hour and 15/20 minutes (each) to complete and clean up the work area where chips went if not sucked up by the vacuum you can attach to the jig. Now I have to do the abrasive blasting to get them ready to be Cerakoted.

Re: SEPA Milling Party?
I just ordered the tooling needed and I'm going to learn the hard way of how bad it will go trying to use a 3D printed jig. Should be here 22nd and a picture of my poor idea posted the 25th.
