If I drank coffee it would have been spewed all over the screen lol

Lol clarify?

Not trying to poke fun at you, but it was a tongue in cheek joke. Haas TL-1 is a $30k CNC lathe, ie. a proper gunsmithing tool. A dremel is not a proper gunsmithing tool, at least not in most people's hands. I can however recommend a good post-dremel gunsmith for corrective repairs.

Lol if I have enough $$ for a 30k cnc machine I think I'll forego the Dremel and just buy 50 more guns!

Quite a useful tool for many gunsmithing jobs, especially pistol work.

I've beaten the living shit of my Dremel for 3 years now... several sets of brushes replaced and that's it.
For smithing I don't need a foot pedal, reverse capability or the power of the larger Foredom ( nor the price tag); and I can grab the Dremel and use it at any bench quickly.

Which model do you use?

Dremel: corded, variable speed. Everyone needs one. If you're setting up a mill just to cut AR front sight set-screw centering slots, you're wasting yours and your customers time.

Would be looking to mill sights for pistols.

That is not going to happen! Mill the slide dovetail with a dremel, are you being serious???

guess not anymore! What's the recommended tool for that?
