X-axis has .015 backlash, Y-axis has .005, but the shop stole a part before I got it. It's the big flathead screw that holds the nut in position. H108 cross-feed nut retaining screw on the parts list. Where to get? Gibs are nice & snug. Also need the oiler, that got took too. Gonna need to put bearings in the spindle, flycutting more than .030 deep rattles & leaves bad finish. Also got a Sony Magnascale (working, ). And a vise. And a collet holder with all sizes in 1/16ths from



1/8 to 3/4. Yee hah. Woo-hoo. Need a drawbar, and gotta replace the collet locating pin.

What's that, you say? How much?



Hold onto your desk, chair, whatever. Howzabout $200 sound? Yes, way.



Can you say homina, homina, homina?



Towing company charged $95 to deliver on a flatbed, and slid it off, inside the garage door. Whattadeal.



It's 440 3 phase, but that's a minor problem. Worry about that later. Gotta clean it up, & replace the parts that got swiped first.



Finally, I got a gloat.

Heh! Well, you've got $200 worth of iron, and at least it cuts metal. Let's see what it takes in $$$ to get it to tolerance!

At least, for $200.00, you can re-sell it for $750, and get takers!

I'll give you this, though. IF the DRO and scales are good, you could get $200 for those, alone.
