I thought I would start a new thread as I dig into the mill. This is NOT a bash Novakon thread. They offer a helluva mill for the price. If they did a complete tear-down and performed all the corrections, we would be paying much more for the mill.
I'll have some pictures tomorrow, (I'm sorry..I know this is just a tease so far, but I can't locate my card reader. I'll have one tomorrow).
The electronics were very nicely done, and I like the stainless steel sheathing over the lube lines. The ways on the table and base are nicely ground and very smooth, (unlike the RF-45 type that I had. It looked like they stopped at the rough cut). There were several issues with the lube system that I took pictures of. I noticed that many of the bolts where only marginally tight. They will be put back in with blue loc-tite. I also checked the flatness of the cross slide ways using bluing and a surface plate. There were only patchy high spots, but at least there was no rocking. I started scraping it in tonight on the deck, but the mosquitoes drove me in, (again, I'll have pictures).
