Just for clarification, this is the mill you're using, correct?

No, that one is much smaller and less powerful than my mill. My mill is http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660255_200660255. I wouldn't want to go any smaller or less powerful if you are going to use 7075 lowers. The smaller one would probably be OK for polymer lowers. You can see a comparison of similar mills on the Little Machine Shop site. The real issue with these is the shipping cost. Northern Tool offered free pickup at the local store. Regular shipping is a couple hundred dollars since the weight of these mills is about 150#.

Glad I cleared that up. Thanks for the assistance and the proper link. I'll start saving my pennies.
