My boxes arrived today in good shape (albeit sideways:LOL:).

I only had time to unbox the stand. It appears pretty solid and sturdy. I'll be mounting it on a mobile base from HTC before installing the machine.

The milling machine remains in its crate for now... unfortunately my work schedule is likely to keep me from cracking it and starting cleanup until this weekend or early next week. I'll post pics and comments in this thread as I unpack and setup. Hopefully I'll figure out how to turn pictures right side up by my next post!

Ooohhhh Yea! Nothing like new machinery day!
 
I admire your restraint:)) I would have had everything unboxed and laying on the floor:whistle:
Good luck with the new machines!

Your pallet showed up in a lot better shape than mine! :)

Looking forward to seeing you get it up and running.

Yes, Rich, it is requiring a lot of self control! But work calls!
 
Had a little time this evening to break into the crate. Very pleased with how everything was packed. Here are a few pics, then off to start an evening of manual reading. Hope to have some time tomorrow to begin cleaning and setup. More after it is setup.

Top off the crate...

Other goodies inside, including the r8 collet set I ordered and even some touch-up paint.

Looks just like mine! :)

I see your touch up paint survived the trip. My blue can leaked all over inside the bag.

The collets are pretty good, with no fitment issues into the spindle.

Have fun and keep the pics coming!

Had a couple hours today to clean and assemble (and do some general shop and tool cleaning)... hope to find a few more tomorrow to shim, level, and begin tramming. I'm hoping it is trammed enough out of the box to make the tramming aids first.

I don't see a vise Henry. How are you planning to make the tramming aids? They're too small to clamp to the table. :LOL:

If you have a vise, just go ahead a make a couple of these things. They are small, and require no dimensional tolerance whatsoever.

If you think it will help, I can try taking a couple pics of mine.

Edit: forget my comments about the vise, I just blew up your picture and saw one hanging on the wall. That will teach me to speak first THEN look. ;)
