IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!
Yes it finally showed up about 9AM today (3/19)
The guy that dropped it off was trying to "push it" and I told him you know that weighs about 650 Lbs right? He laughed and said no wonder why it won't budge!
So after about 15 minutes of meandering it onto the lift gate it was in my garage.
I sprayed it down with cleaner to remove the shipping grease/spray which it is not have a whole lot on it, then preceeded to relubricate it.
I still need to get a few things for it, mainly so I can run my R8 collets and then begin the parts order for the conversion.
Using the metered dials as a reference, it looks like it has about 6 thou of play. But for what I plan on doing with it for now (wood art) will be fine. I do not see wood creating much resistance to create backlash.
I figure I will do the basic cnc conversion now, with the ball screws with double nuts to be done at a later date. |
