Hi Chaps

Got the problem sorted with the suppliers, Axminster to be fair to them took my complaint seriously, they seem to have had extensive discusions with the manufactures, and stripped the machines down thay have in stock, and identified the problem. The problem stems from varition in the base casting and the the way they assemble the mill at the factory (unskilled labour), I've been unlucky and got a base on the exstream of "tolerance" the suppliers have had a new part made in the UK to suit my machine.  :thumbup:

To be fair to the supplier I don't want to go public with the problem but if any of you guys want more infromation, give me a private mail I'll share the information with you.

Got my mill positioned and roughly leveled and couldn't resisit useing it yesterday I had a Piece of 1" square mild steel long enough to get a couple of T nuts out of, the mill ripped through the Job 0.75mm cuts with fly cutter 1mm cute with a 20mm dia 4 flute end mill. Only thing I noticed was a double cut with the fly cutter when feeding from one direction indicating the head is slightly out of square, so I'm going to have to tram the head up but I expected to do this any way so no problem there

 :D    :D    :D    :D

Cheers

Stew

Ignore my email from this morning Stew, no need to get nasty, now that they have come up with a good solution.

BTW, my next project will be making a tram for a milling machine, as we discussed on your last visit.

Darren:
Why would you want a train set in your milling machine... :bugeye:

Sorry, couldn't resist that John, in my ignorance I don't know what a tram is  :med:
