Default GLOAT Woo-Hoo

That is truly excellent. You are the right man for the job,
and I'm sure you'll do fine.

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,
GGGG). 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.
