Finally got my Christmas present the other day and it's got some problems but not the end of the world problems
So it came missing some stuff like the indexing pin and locking screw aswell as the fine adjust screw.
I posted some questions about it over on PM forums but ended up figuring out the cause of my issues during the clean up of grind all.
Before cleaning
After cleaning
I found some dents from balls In Bearing surface and signs of grit being left in grind all.
All in all I'm fairly happy with cost to abuse ratio of the unit. Doesn't seem to have any back and forth slop no more then one or 2 thenths and is +/- .000125 round out after cleaning it so can only complain soon much.
I would be curious if anyone else owns one and could give me measurements of the indexing pin and how it is constructed. So I can attempt making a replacement I see harig sells them still. but figured it would be good chance play around with grind all.
I'll probably buy the fine adjust screw as I', not set up to cut gears that small.
