Yet another 80 percent lower question

[rdsii64]

I have taken up the challenge of building a rifle from an 80 percent lower. Picking which lower and jig kit to buy was easy enough. What I would like to ask is what is a good quality drill press to get. I don't want to spend a egregious amount of money but then again I don't want a harbor freight press either.

All recommendations welcome.

Honestly unless you're gonna use the drill press to make a living the harbor freight press will work

I guess I should take that to mean that a harbor freight press may not be as bad as I thought. I assumed ( and you know what they say about assumed) they were pure junk . I will look into the harbor freight press while I gather my other parts.

Look on Craigslist for a drill press or mill. I was able to score an older harbor freight press/lathe combo for a couple hundred.

Ive alreay purchased the lower and jig kit. With that said this easy jig is very interesting for any future build.
