My feed/threading knob had over spray and some leftover masking tape that made it hard to turn. Cleaned this up and some lubercation, after some use it became much easier to turn. My half nut was also a bit sticky and stiff to engage until I thoroughly cleaned everything and applied some light gear oil. Needs some TLC before everything operates smoothly. A word of caution when cleaning painted areas, I was using alcahol and it dissolved some of the paint. So just about any solvent will soften it.
The damage to the motor is a big disappointment as to the packaging and shipping, really need to do better. I also had sme damage due to poor packing, so not an isolated occurrence. Since you still have the single phase motor, are any of the damaged motor parts interchangeable with the 3 phase motor? Can you use the single phase motor for now?
