AR-15 80% Lower Milling - Mill Recomendations
I have an 80% lower and need to complete it. I've seen a few video where guys complete
these with only a drill press. Seems a bit crude.
I'd like to know if one of the smaller milling machines like the ShopFox
or Harbor freight milling machines would be adequate for the job?

Spindle travel: 1-1/2-Inch
Table size: 3-1/2-Inch by 8-Inch

Maximum speed (rpm) 2500
Minimum Speed (RPM) 1100
Number of speeds Variable
Spindle Taper R8
