Has arrived intact.
Maybe some reinforcing on the top of the crate would be good. Mine arrived slightly crushed, as if it had snapped under the band tension. Contents of the package were completely unscathed.
Me? I am patiently cleaning and running at every 100 rpm in steps to listen to the machine. I have a few R8 collets, but I haven't located the end mills yet. I know they are in the garage.
Table motion is smooth in X and Y. I lifted the table at full left and right, and looked to see if there was any
disturbing of the oil at the edge of the ways. So far, it looks good.
Next up will be actual tramming, it is likely very close right from Matt.
I have complete confidence I can do what I need to do within the entire work envelope. This is a good machine, even though I want to add a "one shot" lube system to it. I don't like the ball oilers.
Overall, a good deal. Blast I am glad I don't need to replace the gear drive with belt drive before I start making chips!
I look forward to adding to the conversations!
