    Hello,

    I measured the distance between the edges of the holes with a dial caliper. The original holes measured between 1.660 and 1.675. The holes, on the replacement, varied between 1.650 and 1.730. Bear in mind, I just checked quickly and did not use any gauge pins or anything.

    The replacement, that is coming, has been checked to make sure the holes are correct.

    Regards,

    Brian

    Did you and the Tormach folks do anything to verify which spindle had the incorrect hole pattern?

    Hopefully my fears are unfounded.

    Congratulations! It seems that all you had to do was to contact Tormach customer service directly.

    That was uncalled for.
