Re: Saturn 2 4x4 - Building 2nd Machine
Well, the way I see it you have a couple choices. Stop now and put the machine back on the shipping pallet and get ready to return it. Or B try to make it work. I would lay it flat on the floor and use some large framing squares to check what you can that way. Purchase or borrow a piece of cold rolled steel bar stock, say 1x2 and see if it lays flat across the top of the frame, not bearing blocks but frame. If the frame is flat, square and true then you can work with the gantry to make it fit. Or fit a new one (gantry), preferred, if thats the real issue.
If you go back a 100 years or more, before modern accurate lathes and milling machines you will find amazingly accurate work was done with what they had to use. It just took a lot longer and the use of shims and hand fitting as needed.
I would think a Registered letter might get some attention if normal communication has failed.
