Commissioning notes:

  • Excessive safety interventions removed
  • Work light removed as it wasn't positionable, with all our LED lights I'm not sure if its worth refitting
  • Its all seems to work fine. I haven't changed belts, or tried cutting anything yet but all the chucks, drawbars, special tools etc are all there and it sounds ok
  • The accessories could do with a shelf or a shadow board to store them on
  • I haven't leveled it or trammed the head. Probably not worth doing but maybe worth checking how far out it is once we're more sure on the location.
  • We could do with a handy look up of spindle speed for different cutter/drill sizes
  • The hand wheels need pushing fully onto the leadscrews, and the setscrews tightening and loctiting.
