Harbor Freight X3 arrives to me humble workshop

[rashid11]

Yellow Trucking wuz real nice to deal with. Open line of communication,
driver was great too. The crate had a giant hole in a side, but the particle
board they use is rather weak and there was no damage to the mill.

Opened the box to discover just what wuz reported here just 2 weeks ago:
HF's X3 is I D E N T I C A L to Grizzly's X3
in all the dimensions . The manual that came with it, is for the older version
as well.

Had no time to clean up the grease, but did run the spindle break-in routine,
10min or so at 10 or so different speed, each, from both Hi & Lo ranges.

No problems so far. The mill is a GIANT compared to X2

Did you order Online or In store? Did you use any coupons?
My local store doesn't carry the X3 and the 20% coupons I get sometimes are always for instore use only..
