Been busy (sorry Don that i haven't responded). Just unloaded the latest machine that literaly fell into my hands.
Intended to be a machine for the home shop it will require some repairs, but being a late "flip head" high speed vertical spindle i figured that the effort might be worth the effort.
Looks pretty OK in this shot, but look further....This machine was dammaged in a move before it came to me. Has some broken pannels, a shattered oil resivour on the lube pump , a broken "X" axis handwheel and a question about the condition of the "X" ballscrerw.
This is a Dialog4 machine, and yes i do have the control and electrical cabinet.
Needs some body work on the chip pan as well, but the upper panels were not on the machine when the dammage happened so they look OK.
Oh yes the motor brake was removed and currently is not accounted for, but the previous owner is looking for it....
Machine came from the Kent Washington area and i had to arrange rigging and transport to get it here.....Sorry no photos of the machine on the truck...was too excited to remember to snap any when it arrived.
Used a good frreight broker that Don Sentner put me on to. I'm OK freight was easy to work with and the rates they got i think were fine. The move went portal to portal with no terminals in between and it came in a roll back covered trailer so no weather dammage.
Now i have an FP2NC, an FP3NC and my trusty, ever faithful FP4NC...
Martin, its not an FP5 , but i am pretty excited
Cheers Ross
