Rob, was it new when you got it, or had a previous owner 'breathed' on it ? That lead screw nut implies someone had driven it hard into overtravel :bugeye: |
| RobWilson:
All those issues have been sorted John :dremel: I just have not had time nor the interest in the project ,one day I will get back on with it . Why not go for a used industrial machine ? Rob |

Only if it has workshop space below it. By the way Rob, nice setup you have. |

That lead screw nut implies someone had driven it hard into overtravel :bugeye: --- End quote --- It was a year old when I got it Andrew , and the old bloke sadly died a few months after getting it . The screw nut is as fit from new ,just very poor quality . but at the time they where £1400 new ,so at the end of the day what can one expects for that sort of money . Rob |
