Hello,

What do you use to label your wires? It is retractable tube with printed labels? If so, how do you do it?
That machine is quite a good machine. Congratulations.

A brother label writer.. It isn't the best - The clear coat seems to like to peal off after a while. On the K&T we used electrical numbering stickers and then clear heat shrink over that. That worked the best IMHO.

simple program with rigid tapping. (didn't have time to try it in metal)

I use Brady heat shrink labels and they are permanent as I am.

The spindle taper has 30 years of wear - a 6 inch tool was around .006" out. So - we didn't have much to lose

Now it is around .0005" at 6 inches.

(the dremel was the only thing that would fit up the BT35 taper) - that we had anyway



We also took added about .0015 shim between the 2 ball nuts on the Z axis.
