Re: ANXIETY - New Charter Oak Machine
I got it uncrated and off the trailer today. That's a bit of a job in and of itself. There were enough screws holding that OSB to the frame that I could package them and resell them on Ebay. Speaking of OSB, there was enough forming the protective shell I could roof a small shed. I haven't had much time to play with it any further. Its just setting on the floor inside the shop. I got a bit of a scare when I found the keys wouldn't open the lower cabinet until I found another set of keys zip tied inside the lower cabinet.
I think I could assemble this and have it running in a day or less if my days weren't so busy with other stuff. The layout is obvious. Having retrofit other machines I appreciate how easy they made the setup on this machine. And while I have not yet opened it I would like to point out that one of the first things I saw when I got the crate open was a pack of papers with instructions on how to setup the mill. Cool.
