Hi Steve
I used Constant Precision, the same machine shop that Buster did in Bedford. They still had the mill set up for his machining and did it while I waited. They were very reasonable and helpful.

It was such a nuisance that the dovetails had been machined so innacurately, but the cure was quick after I removed the saddle. I discovered my problems before I fitted the ballscrews as I saw a thread about innacuracy with the mill.
Now it has been done I get very good results and have used the mill for several jobs since then.
This video will show you one of the tests I did. I know it is painfully slow machining, but of course I have faster speeds set since then.
