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

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).
Eventualy got an email that said the manufacturer said that you can expect back play, I was back at the begining,

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
