I took it back to the shop early this morning after talking to the shop foreman on the phone, he couldn't believe it was that bad. We miked it together, it was as I described above. They are going to weld in new material and remachine. The shop was decent about it.
I have used this shop for almost 20 years but have always dealt with the owner (who is out rehabbing for months) before.
We all can have bad days, but I did learn a valuable lesson. The ballscrew was small money, but it needs to be clear who is responsible if there is a problem with customer furnished material. |
