Gary you are right, I did not read down to the end. I skipped the rest because I thought it was understood by my post it was a machine shop job all the way.

Eric its too far to drive.

Frankly I would either sue the guy or go to the BBB in that town or state and file a complaint or both. There is No Reason why he can't refund you in full or ship you a new machine. Its a bunch of BS what he shipped you and bad or crappy work does not have an expiration date!
