Hi i2i, sorry ive not been around for some time ive been moving into a larger workshop and doing all the overtime i can to pay for it, the machine ran really well and was surprisingly accurate for its age, I will stick some video up of it working on a test piece, my filming skills are not as good as they could be, but it will show the machine working thanks to all the help ive had on this forum.

Great to see you've got it all up and running, how are all those lights.

Good news on the larger workshop.
