Albroswift Posted April 22, 2019 Report Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Everything set up yesterday, today we turned out one ar-15 lower and one pistol caliber. Setup was easy, instructions good. Less then 1 hr per lower, I did mine, the AR-15, and then friend did his pistol lower. Definitely not quite as smooth looking as a factory milling, a little chatter marking, but the jig and tooling functioned efficiently and as advertised. Trigger hole a challenge, First one came out almost perfect, second one (pictured) a little off. nothing that couldn't be tuned up with a file or dremel. Other then that everything worked well. Used the recommended DeWalt DWP611 router and some Boeshield T-9 spray that had been laying around in the shop for 20 years or so for cutting fluid, Put a new filter in the shop vac and attached to the buffer tube end of the jig, pretty good chip extraction but still some chips in the beard and on the floor.

Albroswift Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Posted April 22, 2019 This was the one I did first, trigger hole looks good.
suzukiray Posted April 26, 2019 Report Posted April 26, 2019 I have the 5D also, along with 4 or 5 other jigs, and have zero complaints with it. The 5D is the easiest of all the jigs I have.
