few Bullet points.
Runs like a champ ... ways in good shape, headstock , motor pulleys gears feeds gear box, gears , gibs all remarkable , Ran dead nuts with collets .. i say Tits less than .0005 . Motor is smoothe and all engagements , free spinning spindle back gear all check out good too. Spindle bearings were in great shape . with the fulcrum test she was .004 tir when I first checked her . Than I overhauled whole machine again than went to town checkin everything . Had to stand on top of my toolbox as they were unloading trucks with forklifts less than 10 " behind .. was 90 deg today .. fun day I must say I count see must of loss 5 pounds ... but it was all worth it. Kinda on your own over there ...took a short break ( 2 min) looked at other machines that were same size than came back to check out the rest ... asked permission to take apart spindle bearings , did a readjust got er less than .001 - ( .002) TIR with the fulcrum test ..... figured if I do right procedure I can dial her in better so I was satisfied in what I saw. Afater words noticed down below they had all extra shims for adjustments when I got home noiced the proper procedure under the ld of belt cover on the headstock...
checked out chucks mounting dismounting ect.... dug for a few fixins and it was late time to wrap it up .. Didsn't have much or any time to go shopping had to squabble round. Lucky I was able to get what was promised ... I wanted a few others things but had to pack it in... All in all . Im a happy camper I got what I went ther for and didn't leave disappointed , Kinda choked up too Ok I wont get sappy on ya .
The only thing I didn't score on was AXA tool holders got a few but not what id call big enough selection . He had a boat load of BXA,s and im not kidden had drums of 5c collets . that place was machinists flea market dream .. Ok GTG more latter
thanks again
