I'd like a finished aluminum one for less than $40 if they're around. Brownell's super deal was $35 and free shipping, but of course when they cancel it and tell me I can't have the sale price when back in stock I'm not apt to try them again.......

Actually I'm hoping to see my Vortex in the next week or so, and then we need to range test IT! And my AR wearing a shiny new Leupold!
I have been looking for a bench vise. I'm thinking that I am going to just go buy a new one. As for my shop I came to the conclusion last night that I need to rearange a few things and get set up a little better before I mill my first lower.
@The Heretic do we need to have a machinists vise? I know Iron mentioned having the reamers which makes sense.
My recommendation to anyone who doesn't have a drill press is to be patient and buy the biggest, oldest one you can get. Mine came from an auction. It's a Jet floor model from the '60s probably and IIRC I paid $60 for it. Older tools are usually well built and this one will still be running long after I'm dead and gone.
I bought a upper like that. couldn't get it fixed so I took it to jon over at NW custom firearms. He couldn't get it fixed so it went back to anderson. Still waiting on the damn thing.
it is nice to have a laser and a CNC mill at homeHome laser engraver??
@The Heretic - have you started on a lower yet?
Not yet. I need to get the shop organized and get a drill press.
Excuses, excuses.
Is a drill press a necessity with the 5D jig? Looking over their video, I got the impression a regular handheld drill would work fine. I do have a drill press already, but was just curious.
