Its Friday!!!! Drilled tapped and counter bored the 8 , 6/32 cap screws that hold the face plate on..... day dreaming behind the quill while tapping a hole i busted the tap off! worked at the broken off stub in till it was to small and then proceeded to drill it out over-sized with a carbide drill and "start" over . Decided on some off the shelf hinges for the left right action of the interface.......... yes.... uber productive! lol

(broken tap.... meet mr.carbide drill your ass up outta here!!!)
(tap, loctite, bolt)
(machine)
(like it neva even happened )
(the lid awaiting holes for buttons)
(the hinges (southco).... adjustable tension...plastic....the part that surprised me, 200 lbs rating each! (polycarbonate hinge pin) after learning about the rating of one hinge the concern about it being plastic became a moot point)
have a good weekend!!! :cheers:
