Sieg X3 Supper Mil

Yep,
I have already seen the problem, and Stew is taking the correct route.
If they fix it, all well and good, nothing needs to be said publicly. If not, post a few piccies, tell the suppliers where they are, and all of a sudden the problem goes away. Just like mine did.

You can explain to Bandit yourself.
Since I told him you were bringing him a doggy chew, he's been waiting at the gate every night at 7. :lol:
Methinks you've got a friend for life.

Well its been a few weeks since I got my mill and all I've done is run it over under power, I'm chomping at the bit to start and cut metal,
But I'm still trying to resolve the problem I've got with the supplier, sent them photos and explained the problem they didn't understand what I was on about at first, eventually spoke to a guy who had more of an engineering head :hammer: he grasped the problem straight away, but said they would have to contact the manufacturer, why I've no idea as they sold the mill to me not the manufacturer and as they are the main importer to the UK you'd have thought they carried spares. Any way they had problems contacting manufacturer as they were on holiday (Chinese New Year). :beer:
Eventualy got an email that said the manufacturer said that you can expect back play, I was back at the begining, :bang: I replied with a bit of an eshit pointing out that back play was not the problem, and that the machine had been assembled with a defective part as my photo clearly showed with a bodge that did not follow good engineer practice and just for good measure I told them I was an engineer with 40 years experience and they had sold me a defective machine.
Got an email back asking if I could send them the defective part or email a drawing, just spent an hour stripping the part out of the machine drawing it up and emailing the supplier back.
My shop will take about another 2 or 3 hours work to get it sorted but I can't do the sorting with a stripped down mill in the middle of the floor.
Exstreamly P****d off

I gave up with that company after the purchase of a pillar drill everything was great except the casting for the base was not very good , it had the bottom of one side missing so the drill leaned at 15 deg I got on to them to be told to send the whole lot back , as I had spent hours cleaning the thing and getting all the sand out I did not want to do that, I was told yhey dont keep spares and it had to be inspected first, so I thought for an easy life Ill just buy the part to be told that they could take months, at the time i was desparate for it to do a woodworking job that had to be finnished ( a load of cabnet hindges on some expensive solid oak doors) so I just kept it but would not use them again , oh and the base I ground 4mm off to get it flat and then finnished on my mini mill. but the concern I have now is spares,
