Thanks for the comments Lads..
It certainly is a solid beast, all slides x,y,z, are power fed, but the head hasn't got a moveable quill though, shame really as it would be handy for some of the jobs I've tackled...
I made a base frame for it with levelling screws, that has helped solve a few problems setting work up level or at a required angle...
Then made a tram, really surprised me how far out the head was as used, but only in the swing plane, no for and aft error, if there had been I'd have drilled and tapped the adapter flange, to jack out whichever way to correct...
Must wash her headscarf though....
