I was just hoping for good mechanicals when I bought it, but it might
actually be repairable.

Its had a new Mitsubishi controller installed, and I was told that they
got
the X & Y to work, but had some problems with the Z, I wonder if maybe
there is a brake on Z that was not being disengaged with the new control.

I had started looking for manuals, but there was a stack of manuals that
came with it. I was surprised since they were not advertised in the sale.
The manual for the Mitsubishi controller was inside the control cabinet
too.

There is also a box of tapes (program and code files I assume) and five
tool
holders including some minor tooling and a drill chuck. It looks like #30
tool holders, but I was told they were "Quick 200." Anybody know how to
measure them to know what it is. (I have not looked in the manuals yet.)

Now I have two problems.

1. Getting it off the trailer.

2. Powering it up. I'll need to get a pretty good size phase convertor
from the look of it.

It will probably be six months to a year before I can start cutting with
it.


No problems getting it home?

Had one of the heavy straps on the mill cut completely through for no good
reason. It looked slack in the mirror so I pulled, tied off the cut end
with, and cinched it back down. Other than that. No issues. It was still
quite secure with the other three straps.


Looks like a fair job of tie down

Four straps on the mill. Two on the control box, and one across my
sacrificial slide panel. Its covered with a tarp in the yard right now.
Tomorrow I start trying to figure out exactly where I want it and how to
unload it. My loader won't handle that much weight. Neither will my cherry
picker. I guess I need to run right out and buy a forklift. LOL.

The electric winch made it very easy to slide it forward to just past the
balance point on the trailer.
