Soon, there will be a huge increase in the tonnage of perfectly good metal stock turned into useless shavings. But, Oh, what fun is to be had.

Where is the control for these? I guess configuration is performed on a PC and then pushed? Does it use G Code or is it proprietary?

These may be CNC machines, but not sure about accuracy or finish they can produce. May not be built to the best tolerances and may create a lot of tool chatter.

It says it comes with some software but it looks like you may have to purchase it separately and you can also add a board so you wont use a computer. Without actually seeing one in operation it is a lot of money at risk.

I am sure it would be worthly of finishing of some AR or AK recevier blanks

[Kibokojoe]

Accuracy plus or minus 1 inch. Never been impressed with anything from Harbor

I wonder if it's MAC compatible? Maybe a PC virus could cause everything to be off by 10%? Who's going to research this one and get back to us on the subject? ;)

[Kibokojoe]

MAC=number crunching, videos, music and art
PC=games :) Call of Duty 5 OOORAAAAHHHHH

oh hellz no--ak receivers you can do with tinsnips, like people in pakistan do:D people don't believe me when i say that an ak starts off looking like a panel off of a washing machine.
you get 50 people together each putting in 50-100 each and start having guys writing programs that work for ar-10 and ar-15 receivers from solid blocks for personal use. stick the metal in and let the fully atf-compliant "gunsmith cum cnc machine" belt them out, one person/instance at a time. get one guy who can measure and input programming and turn out a fal for his own use. if/when that works satisfactorily, get a m14 one going....

cheaper to just build one
