finishing an 80% lower with a drill press and a jig isn't that hard.
It isn't that easy, either. Plus, manual work with hand tools or drill press, requires a significant time commitment and somewhat of a learning curve. It is within the reach of most handy people, but it is a less than optimal solution.
This $1200, purpose built, mill is about half of the lowest priced general purpose 2-axis mill, and about 1/7 the price of a 3-axis mill. A lot of DIY, lifehack-type solutions for this very problem (CNC milling of 80% lowers, with jigs) run 2 to 3 times this price tag.
I was actually wondering how long it would be before this type of product appeared on the market.

1) a $1200 mill can't be very good. A $1200 cnc mill is probably garbage.
2) What are you going to do with all your lowers after you make them? If you build yourself a gun, you don't need numbers on it. If you sell it, you've got to put numbers on it.
