New 12z Owner Here

I did notice if you do plan to repaint my stand and chip tray match almost perfectly. I used VHT roll bar and chassis black from O'Riley's auto parts

Yea, I like that chip tray. If I ever pull the mill off it's stand I may hire you to make me a new one. :D

Honestly yours looks way better. And the hole is already cut now. If you really want to match I have some silver paint left over.

Oh, I forgot. It was a good thing I decided to tear the mill down because I discovered the Y-axis nut was slightly loose and already starting to tilt and wear funny.

So I would have been tearing the mill down anyway.
 
Ok I started the flush with wd40 copious amounts of black casting sand came out no way i can realistically flush clean table and saddle are coming off. Guess she will be getting an extremely in depth tune up before going into service.

Looking real good. Yea, a parts washer is on my 'required' list of things to get next year. Just received my little bench top blasting cabinet last week. Slowly getting there...
