THIS!
My GO-TO guy had a couple of videos posted on YouTube that promptly got taken down, so it's going to take some work to find any comparison of the Jigs out there! I have the 80% Arms jig, and it's awesome, and I have seen the 5D Tactical in action, both are super nice and both make the job really easy, so a side by side between the two isn't really going to turn up much of a difference between these two! From what I have seen, the 5D has the advantage of an easier swap between lower blanks, and switching between the different lowers, so I could do a AR-15 and then basically flip the lower plates and do a AR-10 nonstop action!
I have also used multiple brand Routers, and HERE is something tho think about: DeWalt has the top warranty of any industrial power tools, followed closely by Makita and then Milwaukee, and finally Rigid! For my Money, the Makita is the cats meow, has a finer RPM setting, and a stronger base lock, though admittedly the DeWalt is right there with it. The Milwaukee seems to have more torque, but it's not a big deal really unless you find other cool stuff to use it for. Rigid is good quality, but I wish they would fix the deck lock on them, then I would be a bigger fan! FOr cordless drills, HANDS DOWN, Makita rules! Second is Milwaukee, third a disappointment that DeWalt A) was so expensive for what you get, B) Didn't have any thing close to the power and battery life of the Makita ( until you go brushless/Lipo) Most of this is not really THAT important for what your doing, but still, something to consider when selecting tools!
FWIW, the ROTO-ZIP can also do the job, and quite well I can say, I have cut 1 Lower and it ran flawelessly!
I have no issues putting Cerakote on an unserialized firearm or component, but if you are not yet an established customer plan to spend a few minutes with me to get all your information down, because it still have to go in the book when I take possession to begin the work. My goal is 48 hours turnaround, but this week may be more like 72 hours.Good question for @LuckySG since he does Cerakoting in-house (literally
, Take it slow your first time through, the Roto-Zip tends to run super fast, and will dull a cutter/break if you don't slow it down! Start out in the center of your first cut and dial the speed up until you get a good even flow to your cut and leave it there! once you get a feel for how it runs, you could play with the speed, but honestly, it's not needed!
Of course! I have everything I need for custom stencils, it just takes two times the normal effort to get a good solid coat on.
Cool
