My new shop baby

[Norseman C.B.]

Update ; Starting re-assembly, got the Y table cleaned up and all the lube oil tubes cleared, assembled Y table, and adjusted the gib.
Adjusted the lead screw to .002 thou of bakclash (I can live with that) and it moves as smooth as silk........
Here are some pics...







And me prepping the X table for assembly in the morning



And a view of the new shop doors.

Looks like your making great progress on the mill and the shop. Don't get the whiskers too close to that wire wheel. Something I have to watch out for too. Cheers, Mike

Norseman, Looking real good. You have a lot in your shop.
The mill is coming together nicely, will be a real asset to the shop.

 

[Norseman C.B.]

Yeah an asset fer sure, though the the RF- 30 did it's job this will be so much more efficient............

 

[Norseman C.B.]

Got all the big pieces assembled today without too many extra parts left over......
Here are some pics














Now I gotta install the new X table drive and go through the power head
then try to patiently wait fer the phase converter to arrive on the 8th and power the ol gal up !!..................

Norseman, she is sure coming along. Looks really good. Sounds like you might get everything done by the time the phase converter shows up. I have no doubt that you are biting at the bullet to make some chips.

I keep looking at the area outside you shop and trying to put a location in relationship to KF. The grounds look like you are West of town but just guessing.

I haven't been to KF since the year I graduated from OIT. That was in 1978. Just looked on the Google Map. Looks like the area has grown up considerably. Loved the area out towards Lake of the Woods. I am sure it has changed too.

I did want to ask. Could you lift the entire mill with your tractor or was disassembly required for the lift as well as the cleaning?
