Going to start off by thanking those users who regularly contribute their knowledge and experience to this forum. It is very helpful… Richard King, swatkins, triumph406, Speedie, aarongough to name a few that come to mind...
Anyway, came across one of those once-in-a-lifetime-opportunities to purchase a 2000 Fadal 4020HT w/ 4th Axis... I think.
Machine Background:
Please take a look at the following list regarding what I have encountered so far, I would love to learn from what you have to say.
X axis:
That is interesting
Saddles look decent though..
Y axis:
Slight scratches and rubbing marks are visible on portions of the right box way.
left looks pretty clean
to be continued shortly. need to upload more photos.
Speaking of Richard – hopefully I will be in a position to take full advantage of that 2019 King Scraping Class in Houston Tx.

Machine Background:
Machine came from a facility that manufactured parts for the petroleum industry. Not to put er down, but she was definitely the ugly duckling on the floor relative to the surrounding equipment. From what I gather, they used the Fadal for nasty jobs, such as fiberglass. It seems to be everywhere - on machine and body... No telling what all is in the chip pile.

Y axis:
Rubber on the way covers was gone. The area under the saddle was full of chips. Two broken way-wipes on the y-axis. Turcite is visible at the very edge of the y-way. It is chipped and the small pieces dangling off the way.
