Good to know. Can your machine handle steel?
There was a case like this in New Mexico where the ATF charged the person with building firearms without a license. I don't know the details,but you might want to check on this. It had to do with renting machine time and offering advise.
Got this out of this months Guns & Ammo Ghost Gunner article.
Page 18 third paragraph right column.
ATF2015-1 says if a Gunsmith or machine shop lets someone use their equipment to finish 80% lowers for money that that operation must serialize and A&D the gun [Acquisition and Disposition means must be logged ]
ATF is trying to take a big bite out of the machine shop 80% culture.
so, I wouldn't advertise it around too much. You might get a visit you don't want.

I think the key words are "for money". If a person were willing to let his friends borrow his tools, then it would not be for money.
