4 boxes totaling 240 pounds from our own Jason. He had offered up his 10in Van Norman Dividing Head at a time when Dr bills were taking their toll. So, I asked if he could wait until August for payment. He most graciously did. So August rolls around & I can pay - but not really ready to receive the boxes as my spine Dr operated on me & placed me on a don't pick up anything restriction. Of course Jason wastes no time trying to get these parts to me - except a little vacation time. A neighbor brings the boxes round to the shop & they sit.
Had to get a little creative to begin the unveiling. Man, what a packaging job Jason!
Cleanup begins
Head & Base are joined!
All of the Indexing Assembly needs cleaned & Once assembly is completed, It will be time for final paint! I have, thanks to Jason, Collets, Indexing Plates, Gears - everything really except for the gearbox for spiral indexing. I do believe this will get mounted on my no24 table & stay there. Well, until I can sort a pole & beam hoist to maneuver parts / projects onto both the mill & lathe. + from 1 to the other!
Part 2 very soon ;-)
