I guess I've clogged up all the other threads long enough. This is a Bolton machine I bought last year to make parts for my G0602 conversion which I was mostly using to make mountain bike fork parts. The CNC bug got me, though, and now I'm converting the mill. It's slow going. My work load is very high, and my motivation has been severely limited by the need for sleep.

I ordered ballscrews from LMB a few days ago. I took a couple of pics while I had the mill apart measuring the z-screw.

1. My high tech head stand (patent pending).
2. When the mill first arrived, I discovered a fair amount of rust inside the column and other areas. I spent a couple of weekends removing rust and slopping on Rustoleum. I spent another 2 weeks trying to get the paint out of my armpit
3. Re-tramming the head for the millionth time.
4. And the vise. Note the enclosure in the background. I still have to wire the G320x's, but other than that, it's done just waiting for a purpose.
