I suppose this review is mainly for UK as I think ARC Euro Trade have specified this particular configuration for themsleves. They are ( I believe very proactive with Sieg) Well after the wait Santa has called round in spades. Today I found this: 75 kgs of "stuff" Quick open the box and fond the destructions. I like the way there was a spare fuse included: More to follow while I check the above has posted correctly NB: That only took a few goes to get right! |

Sorted out the images now I think! |

SO whats in the box: There was some bubble wrap, I like the foam pad behinf the electrics (at the back of the column) and also that the handwheels are removed. After a bit of plywood removal here's the machine: The brown cardboard box contains various bits and pieces (hand wheels and tools) I like the way they included 4 "Tee" Nuts: Now in order to stand a chance of lifting the beasty (60 kG) the slides were removed. They would be anyway in order to clean them up: So we have "Tee" Nuts! What about strained nuts :bugeye: Time to lift the mill into place of honour. This will be my new "goto" place in the workshop/cellar. She is now sitting on top of my kegerator [a kegerator is an old fridge dedicated to dispensing kegged homebrew]. I know you shouldn't drink and mill but we may have a summer this year and after a few hours chewing steel a frosty from below wins the day. [Better than a suds pump?] So tommorrow is all about cleaning, degreassing, knock off high spots, more cleaning. I hope "Doubleboost (John)" has shares in brake cleaner! As a general comment so far on the cleanliness of the machine: No traces of sand (other than some tiny bits that had been sprayed red!) , lots of moly grease and oil, no evidence of cast irom powder (magnet test). Nearly time to hit the kegerator but before that does she run? I had bought the option speed readout and I must say belt drive and the HT motor are fantastic: So thats it for tonight! Overall so far I am very impress with ARC and this particular mill |
