Hello from Grenoble

Hey Mike,
So do you recall removing any screws underneath the collumn when you took off your cover?
By the way, thanks for introducing me to this great Forum.

No problem - easier to give advice on here than YouTube - and there's a clever bunch of blokes on here.

Re. bolts, when I can find time I'll.... oh!, wait....




That's the base of the Z column - bolt on low left and low right. Don't take the bolts off the bottom plate - that's the filter mesh :)

EDIT: OP - sorry, re-read your earlier post - and you've found the two bolts on the lower part of the column. I really can't recall any problem removing the shroud on the Z-column, but if you're working inside the packing case you're giving yourself problems. As you can see the column shroud contains all the electronics and cabling that will restrict movement/removal of the shroud - you really need to get the machine out of the crate to continue sensibly.

I have a problem taking mine off further because I've drilled and tapped a number of holes to mount junction boxes etc to the column - they'd have to come off first.
