The table has been installed and acme bushings adjusted to take up slop for backlash.

Over the past week, I was able to move the mill into my workshop. What a hassle to lift the unit over the small door frame. Throughout the process I replaced many of the flat head bolts with allen bolts, grease/oiled necessary components, and adjusted the lead screws. Currently waiting for a new motor to arrive so I can hopefully turn the machine on this weekend.
Overall the recondition wasn't as too bad, and taught me a lot about the design and capability of the machine. My first project on the mill will be to finish my Ducati 916 engine cutaway.

Yesterday, I finally wired the machine with the new Century V100 motor. Took a while for me to convince myself I had the correct hook ups for the wires. Below is a link to a short video of the machine running. Very impressed with how quiet and smooth the machine operates. Can't wait to start cutting metal.

If anything, those recesses would have had felt, cut from flat sheet of medium hardness inside them.

I sourced some xring o-rings from mcmaster. They have held up over the past two years.
