Don’t feel bad, at least it isn’t a brand new $80k Ford Expedition that randomly sets the steering wheel height and seat adjustments, has an unusable self driving feature, intermittent gps, glitchy radio, flat screen display errors, and glitchy electric windows. Lol

I‘m glad the fix for your machine is pretty straight forward. A year from now you won’t even remember the glitch. There‘s been a 4Runner in the driveway for a year and I don’t even think about the Expedition. :)

This is why, when I had the choice of buying a new Jeep, I bought a 2013.

geezo Fairlane— with H&W machine almost next door to you, why didnt you go over there and get a rebuilt Bridgeport for just a little more $. You know a knee mill beats one of the chicom column mills anyday. ive got a jet rebadged rongfu i purchased in my younger dumber days. Like aaron says its good for wood stock work — I have a PM and a grizz lathe. One reason i bought them was parts availability. Thats not true anymore- ya got me thinking— mabie i should get that 56 model SB 13 running instead of selling it off. Dont know what ill do if i need lathe parts but with H&W this close with all the bridgeport parts i could ever need there is no question what my next mill will be.

H&W is about 10 minutes from me, I know Berry, great guy.....I don't have the room for a B-port mill, plus getting it up my drive might be way interesting
