My New 770 Arrives Today

[MetalShavings]

I got an email notice telling me that the 770 I ordered Last Friday was at the shipping facility in Phoenix and ready to be shipped to my home.

All I had left to do is call them and make arrangements to have them bring it at a certain time.

This is the mill and the stand only. The remainder of my Mill-Package will be here on Friday.

It took me a long time to save up for this purchase. The past few weeks I've been scrambling to finish up the rearranging of my very small shop area to accommodate this new machine.

That "Rearranging" included chopping the tree down in my back yard to make room for a storage shed that I also had to put together; all while still having to do my income producing work, as well as the day to day things that need to get done.

Since I had to drop a fair sized wad of money for this mill, it looks like it'll be a while before I can step out on the town for some entertainment. I'm going to have to figure out a way to build and incorporate an integral-vaginal into this new mill cause that's about the only way I'll be getting any.

Oh well; it's a trade off I guess. I can use the time alone to build some of the projects I've been meaning to tackle.

Wish me luck.

Congrats!
I got my 770 this past spring and remember the last minute details and all the preparation to get the machine setup. I recommend taking your time and being methodical. I scratched the face of the door to the spindle/ motor area by not locating the chain to the lifting bar, table T-slot correctly to lift the machine in a level manner. Do a test lift and adjust the T-slot nut w/ eye bolt accordingly... if I recall I had to move the T-slot nut to the right (facing the machine) about 6" to get the machine to lift level. Might want to remove the door as well. Good luck and don't worry, you'll get into town for some entertainment soon enough

Got my 770 last month and have been loving it. I just wish I was retired so I can spend more time with it and less with my real job.

+1000 on that. My 1100 sits way too idle, but gotta pay those pesky bills...
