That is unacceptable. Stop what you are doing, dismantle everything and get it back up into your garage. put it all back together and contact PM and tell them you want it replaced under warranty. You will have to say that you noticed it when carefully inspecting it with a flashlight and a mirror.
That should drag this thread out some more

There were some days when I thought my Kondia had been built only on Sunday evenings by workers dragged in and not paid any overtime. However, much of that was due to the abuse by the previous owners. I agree with Ken here, you are going to really enjoy using that mill once you have it all back together.
