    Got my 145 yesterday- 7-15-10

    Finally! Arrived in good shape. I'll get some pics up soon, but initial thoughts are that I'll re-wire the computer cabinet to allow it to be mounted on a wall next to the unit. The space I have for it, doesn't allow any room to open the rear swing cabinet door. Minor thing..

    The 4" vise did look like it came out of a 1940's machine shop at first, then I cleaned it up and it's shinny and new. Looks like a precision vise with the jaws closing perfectly.

    The MPG didn't come with an adapter- so I emailed Khai at 7 or so PST. He responded in seconds to say that they had a problem with the adapter and will be exchanging the whole unit in a couple of weeks. Have to say that he's living up to his reputation for fast response to questions even after hours. More later.
