You are right Pete. One of the feed nuts has slotted holes to allow backlash adjustment. I used some 6mm hex bolts I had on hand because they have built in washers to provide a good grip on that nut to keep it from turning. My wife has the same opinion as yours and actually told me I should keep both mills in case I need one to make parts for the other! I need to work on a new floor plan that will allow that and still give me enough room for all the other stuff I have jammed in my half of the garage. I have come to terms with parking my truck outside but I can't convince her to do the same.
