Funny, it doesn't look like any of the rattlers I used to find in my back yard in Tucson.
So what is that exactly? Anything important?

Looks to me like a mounting post for something... one end accepts a screw... the other was glued or ultra-sonic welded to something.
Might check through the case to see if one of the mounts for the circuit board (or anything else) is missing.

IT ARRIVED!
Well I got a call from UPS Freight that they were at my house. I drove home and the driver wheeled his pallet jack into my garage and my mill was delivered. I opened the crate for a quick check to make sure the mill was in good shape, it was...
I spent about an hour and a half unpacking and setting up the mobile base, lifted the mill with a chain hoist, and now the mill is on the base! See pictures below. I had to quit for the night, homework, dinner... being a single Dad is fun.
I have not secured the mill to the base yet, as there are no holes drilled in the base and the base of the mill does not sit on anything but the pan in the back. The manual is absolutely useless, so I will give Matt a call, or just add some angle iron so that I can drill and tap some holes. All in all I would say that the quality seems pretty good.I of course had the correct set of expectations from everything I have read here. I will get some more work done on the Mill tomorrow night and over the weekend.

Congratulations!!!
You have your new mill!
If it were me... I would take my time working through each detail (think them out). Results will be worth it.
Hope I get an Email or call soon that mine is on the freight line... this waiting thing is tuff...

Are your kids old enough to be interested in Dad's stuff in the shop?
Would be a good 'family' thing if they were...
