Here are a few of my favorite pieces of power equipment. Click on images to enlarge.
The milling machine can achieve many cuts otherwise impossible by hand. Several specific tasks can be done in a timely manor with precision and accuracy.
This is the mill in action on the receiver section of an AK-47. The mill is great to get dimensions straight and parallel. With this tool I can get the magazine well opened up and the trigger cutout done.
The lathe is useful but not for AK builds. It is for more random jobs. When I start up my sub gun builds it comes into play.
The surface grinder is a key piece in achieving small to large notches and complete lightning cuts to AK-47 receivers and other weapon platforms.
The size of a sand blaster plays a huge part in its usefulness. I like to have plenty of room for any rifle and the ability to change media to suit various needs.
