Now I went and did it. Let the fun begin!

Well, I made one of the captive nut puzzles. It turned out okay. I am happy with everything but the threads. My guess is I was taking too big a bite when threading. I don't know for sure but they look kind of ripped and not cut.

I also learned that I couldn't thread the total distance because the carbide bit holder would hit the boss on the right side.

Looking great. It's interesting that your mill base has a different configuration than mine.

I have it up and running now. I have all the controls wired and working. I have all three of the power feed installed, still need to install the limit switches.

I still have the power draw bar and DRO to install.

I think I'll install the DRO first then move onto the limit switches for for the power feeds.

Looking good. Where’s the DRO?
