Ghost Gunner now mills Polymer 80 frames

Is there anything stopping me from using a Shapeoko 3 for milling these lowers? Its not like you can mill out a dozen ar15 lowers and sell them legally why not just get a machine that can do more than just make lowers?

Shapeoko is a router, right?
Assuming it has a large enough volume, it'll come down to the depth of cut, the stepover, the feed rate and the speed of the spindle.
There's no reason you couldn't write GCode for the GG for non-gun related stuff. You just need a postprocessor that is set up for the GG.

Cool now I can pay $2500 to buy a machine that does what I did a couple months ago with $20 worth of hand tools from Lowe's.

Show us the surface finish, then.

How do you make one with simple hand tools? All the videos on youtube seem too complicated and I dont know how to use dremels and drill presses. I wonder if I could make one with a snip and file.

All you really need to finish it is:
>End snips
>Round file
>Emery boards
>Cordless drill

You can get fancier, but you don't have to.

Seriously, though: I want to see the surface finish of yours.

Not him, but the surface finish doesn't matter -- all the stuff you finish is just clearance, the slide doesn't actually run on the hand-finished surfaces or anything like that.

It may seem outlandish, yes, but there are plenty PLENTY of prototrak read V-Mills on the market for the same price or a hair higher. Granted, you'll actually have to know how to machine (or at least have a general grasp) and forget a DRO for a minute. But you'll gain one of the most valuable machine tools you could ever own. A standard tooling/production V-Mill has the capability to cut just about anything you can imagine if you can get creative with your set-ups. The only other machine tool that's even more valuable is a short bed lathe (6-9 foot). With those two machines and the right amount of learning or know-how, you can create anything you wanted. Skip the $2500 toaster uni-tasker, step up to a machine that you can use to harness your world.

Who gives a shit about that? It runs flawlessly, which is what I want from a tool. It's not like I'm going to show off the inside of my gun at the Museum of Modern Art, so the surface finish couldn't possibly matter less.

I'll be using it to machine a lower to complete the AR I'm blowing my head off with.

I assume these can be reprogrammed, correct? I'm employed as a CNC programmer and this is cheaper than most other compact CNC Mills.

Why so defensive user

Post serial numbers or nogunz

post social security number or you're a russian bot

LE GHOST GUNNRE is a meme fad tech woo device for people who are somehow too stupid to operate normal 3d printers

>3d printers
>milling out aluminum and plastic
I mean, it's technically possible if you replace the head and make the machine rigid enough, but I'm pretty sure you're just retarded.

>thinking milled aluminum and injection molded nylon is equivalent to 3D printer ABS filament

Confirmed for retard who doesn't know how machines operate

>post serial numbers
Sir, this is a ghost gun thread; serial numbers are not welcome here.

Hello Dave
We have now entered you into the database of unregistered firearm owners

Fuck off, batfag.

>you only need to provide ... any computer or laptop with a windows or mac OS

It doesn't need to be connected to the Internet, user.

>what are your opinions on defense distributed?
They are b and r. They will make sure if cuck politicians further infringe on our rights, that criminals will still have them, making the argument that legal guns help criminals moot

99% of people dont have the skills to create a lower out of an 80

It's dumb easy
Change the word skill to confidence

For a polymer80 glock frame? You must be joking; skill is optional.

somebody needs to make an 80% uzi that takes glock mags. You know the entry level gun fags would love this.

woops. mac. whatever

DefDists heart is in the right place but the GhostGunner is simply a terrible product for pushing their agenda. It's a huge step backwards from the work they were doing with 3D printing. I get that they're extra-legally blocked from continuing that, but there's still much better things they could be doing, than an overpriced mini cnc milling machine.

Dont connect your computer to the internet sperg

Yea you should do that

If they do ban it, it's still open source isn't it? So you could download the plans and firmware and always build one yourself from parts.

Seconded; motion carried.

is now in charge of making the aforementioned 80% Uzi/MAC.

>Not running Windows in a virtual machine running off an encrypted drive encased in many magnets and hidden inside the wall of your house
Not gonna make it

It matters if you don't want the gun to look like shit. I don't know about this GG setup, but with a CNC machine you can do more than make a basically functional firearm. You can instead make a custom firearm exactly how you want, even making exact copies of historic firearms down to the serial #.

This is what I used. I'd also recommend an x-acto knife.

2k for a router isn't bad, it's kinda bad for a mini router though. Really, you'd be better off making your own router, plenty of diy kits out there and if you had a bit more money for tools you'd be better off buying a used bridge port, I've seen plenty sold for under 2k. The ghost gunner only makes sense for people who want to make 'thier own' guns, but don't actually want to put the effort into making thier own guns.

The gg is also just a beefed up router. Most diy routers are plenty rigid for aluminum you can even do steel with a smaller end mill and if you're slowm

This.
End nippers for the rail
Xacto knife
Hand drill
That's all you need for a poly 80. 700 rounds no cleaning no mals. I wanted to go 2k without cleaning, but I dropped it in the mud...

>surface finish
Who gives a shit noguns. It's a plastic handgun.

A 7075 AR 80% lower? Yeah that requires some skill to finish. Poly 80 Glock lowers are simple as long as you have all your chromosomes.

>if you don't want the gun to look like shit
But all the surfaces we're talking about are inside the gun -- nobody will ever see them but you.
The finish you get is directly dependent on your patience. Finish it by wet-sanding with fine sand paper and WD-40 and you can make it as smooth as you want, but I just don't see the point.
Anyway, if it's worth $2500 to you to have your gun look nicer when you take it apart for cleaning, by all means, buy a ghost gunner. (And then whine about machining marks, cause that won't magically make it smooth either.)

P80 frames can be finished with a utility knife and drill, why on earth would you buy a 2500 machine to do it(and lowers which are cheap as fuck right now)
