I have heard nothing but good about these guys. I am not into wood working so I have not used them.

It sounds like the OP might be working on an AR 15 lower reciver papper weight. Thay are usley done with a jig to get every thing right.

I have had my G0704 mill for a year now it has been just fine. For the mony you can't beat it.

The limmit goes on the front of the table. I didnot install it as I have an Igaging scale mounted there. You have to remove the table locks and the pointer.
