Hi everyone,

I'm about to buy a brand new Taig Mill, a manual (CNC is no fun for hands!), and after seeing so many comments on the mill's Y way getting tore up from what looks like sliding contact, I was wondering:

Would it be ideal to send out all the aluminum Taig parts for hard annodizing before using it?

I like the idea of hardening up the work tables by anodizing them. Has anyone else here done anything like this, or recommend it? How much would this cost to have done? Could I do it myself? Where do you send it to have this done right if you did?

If there's anything I can do to make this thing not just bullet proof, but tank proof, as it were, let me know. I'd like to take good care of this thing and make it last a good, long time.
