Second 3d part attempt-- had two tool crashes, scratched it with a file during post clean up, and it's showing me there's something funky with the diagonal tool path. (gibs too loose?)
Also went to the local surplus yard and it looks like they picked up a crate of scratch and dent motors from grizzly. Got this 3hp, 240 single phase, 3400rpm motor for $75. Looks new-- hope to adapt it to the mill head and take off the 1.5 up 1700rpm motor. I'm not ready for a vfd/pulley setup yet.
