My mill is a single phase variable speed head so there isn't an electrical box per se.  It merely has a single connection in which needed to be attached to a standard 220-single phase connection and it feeds a rotary switch and then the motor.

With the power X-axis the handles are very easy to turn still and they are not like the BP's in that you have to push and hold in while turning the ball crank handles.  They simply turn very easily while going through the motor for the powered axis.  The travels are still very fluid and smooth even on the X-axis with the motor.  I don't use the power X-axis as much as I thought I would but for longer cuts and a consistant finish it sure works well.

Mike,

The Grand Tetons have been on my list of places to visit for years. Once I retire, that's the first trip I'll be taking.

Thanks very much for the information on the mill.

No problem Ed.

Ya, my wife and I love Grand Teton NP. This is our fourth trip there in the past 8 years or so and just marvel at the beauty the area has to offer.

Mike.
