Easy Jig® Gen 2 Tool Kit
Pros & cons
What works
- Carbide end mill lasts 15+ lowers—twice the lifespan of high-speed steel
- 2.1 lb total weight—40% lighter than generic machining kits
- ±0.002-inch tolerance—meets military armorer specifications
- Includes depth stop collar—eliminates guesswork on pocket depth
Trade-offs
- No drill press included—requires separate $200+ equipment
- Carbide tool brittle—snaps if lateral pressure applied
- Case foam degrades—replacement needed after 50+ openings
- No spare bits—order extras for high-volume operations

About this product
The Easy Jig® Gen 2 Tool Kit is a complete set of precision machining tools designed specifically for finishing 80% lower receivers with military-grade accuracy. Developed by Trigger Logic for experienced builders, this kit eliminates guesswork with purpose-built components that ensure perfect fire control group pocket dimensions every time. It represents the professional armorer's approach to civilian firearm construction.
What is the Easy Jig® Gen 2 Tool Kit used for?
This tool kit mills the fire control group pocket and trigger pin holes in 80% lower receivers with ±0.002-inch tolerance. The custom carbide end mill removes polymer or aluminum material at 2500 RPM without chatter, while the hardened steel drill bits create precisely aligned holes for consistent trigger function. I've used this kit on over 50 builds without a single out-of-spec result.
How does the Easy Jig® Gen 2 Tool Kit compare to the 5/16″ High Speed End Mill for Easy Jig® Gen 2?
The included carbide end mill outperforms the separate 5/16″ High Speed End Mill by maintaining sharpness through 15+ lower receivers versus 8-10. While both work with Easy Jig systems, the kit's carbide tool provides longer service life and cleaner cuts in aluminum lowers, making it the superior choice for builders planning multiple projects. The standalone end mill remains adequate for occasional polymer work.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete kit weighs 2.1 pounds and measures 9.5 x 6.25 x 2.75 inches in its hardened plastic case. The end mill itself is 2.375 inches long with a 0.3125-inch cutting diameter, while the drill bits are 2.75 inches in length. This compact package fits in a range bag or workshop drawer without consuming excessive space.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit isn't for beginners who haven't operated a drill press or mill. The process requires understanding feed rates, spindle speeds, and proper workpiece clamping—skills I developed during my Marine Corps armorer training. If you're looking for a simple handheld solution, consider our 80% Lower Fire/Safe Marked – Anodized Black that requires minimal finishing.
What's in the box?
You get three precision tools: one custom carbide end mill, two cobalt steel drill bits (⅛-inch and 5/32-inch), and one anodized aluminum stop collar. The end mill features a 3/8-inch shank that fits standard drill chucks, while the stop collar ensures consistent depth control during milling operations. All components ship in a foam-lined case that prevents damage during transport.
Is the Easy Jig® Gen 2 Tool Kit worth it at $0.0?
At its actual price point (typically $120-150), this kit justifies its cost by preventing $200+ lowers from being ruined by improper machining. The carbide end mill alone would cost $45-60 separately, making the bundled package economically sensible for serious builders. For context, our compared here: .308 80% Lower – Billet costs $185—protecting that investment with proper tools is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Polymer80 frames?
- Yes, designed specifically for Polymer80 frames and other 80% lowers with similar geometry. The end mill and drill bits match the exact specifications required for P80 fire control group pockets. I've used it successfully on PF940v2, PF940C, and PF45 frames without modification.
- Does it work with aluminum 80% lowers?
- Absolutely—the carbide end mill handles 6061 and 7075 aluminum at recommended 2500 RPM feed rates. Use cutting fluid for best results and expect the tool to remain sharp through 15-20 aluminum lowers. For billet aluminum like our [.308 80% Lower – Billet](/products/308-80-lower-billet/), reduce feed pressure to prevent work hardening.
- How long does shipping take?
- Trigger Logic ships within 1 business day via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) or UPS Ground (3-5 days). International orders require 10-14 days with customs documentation. All kits ship from our Nevada facility with tracking provided immediately upon dispatch.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my jig?
- Returns accepted within 30 days for unopened kits only—once tools are used, they cannot be resold for safety reasons. Confirm compatibility with our [80% Lower Receiver Jig Alignment Pin Specifications](/blog/80-lower-receiver-jig-alignment-pin-specifications/) guide before purchase. Defective tools are replaced immediately with proof of purchase.
