Second of the new toys arrived Saturday. Picture posted at http://www.metalworking.com again This one is listed under Both.jpg The green one has already been stripped and started on. Due to being 8'6" tall and the doorway only being 6' 2" tall I've had to remove the head and ram to allow this.Should get this in position this week and drill a hole in the floor as the W axis ball screw needs a 11" deep hole to extend into. The grey one, another Beaver will have to wait a couple of months [ or so ] due to lack of room. I'd like to get it in during winter at the side of the existing Beaver as experience has shown that they tend to breed during the winter months. It'll be just my luck to get two the same sex or a pair of queer millers -- Regards, John Stevenson Nottingham, England
