Bob, no problem. I agree with Dan. People are using the tariffs to price gouge.

Just painted the last coat of spray paint on these parts. Now they will all get a coat of brush paint.

I got a little done on the mill today. I put the pipe in the main casting. And this is galvanized pipe as I believe that is what was in it at least when I got it. I also machined a flat washer for the bed plate. That is so the thrust bearing will have a flat surface to sit on. See pics.

Worked on my mill today. Started the assembly process. Everything is going together nice. I know the hub is not painted but wanted to figure out the clearance on all the parts first. More to come later.
