I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Well, the new mill works.

I've heard horror stores of old machines that are great until they are moved and then have board or drive failures when repowered.

No issues [thumbsup]

Although. . .

When I was leveling the thing it walked off the jack screw pad :o

Using the little forklift that could, I got it back into place. . .

and it happened again [bang]

I may have a career ramming dumpsters for the Waste Mgmt [laugh]

Turns out the pads have a hole through them, but the jack screws have nothing to fit the hole (and keep the machine in place when the screws are turned)

I milled pits for the screws to sit in and it worked great.  Machine is damn near perfectly level.  1 graduation on the level is .0005" over 12" :o  I'm not off more than 1 in any direction.

I spent almost $800 on a vise for the thing this morning, and have put together a tooling package for the tools I'll still need.  That will probably be $1500ish.  After that the spending is done and hope fully I can make some money with it.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Really cool seeing this all come together. [thumbsup] [beer] [bow_down]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

So I made a brake caliper piston for Pip's ancient Honda he's restoring.

I decided it would be fun to engrave his name on the back of it.  The lighting is kinda sucky here, but it actually says "PIP" on the face of that piston [laugh]

Writing Pip's name.MP4
