Here is the base partly disassembled. The gibs are about 3/16" thick with nice pockets milled for the adjustment screws and the lock. The x and y axis have cast in oil passage ways, for some unknown reason the z axis does not have any oilers. The screw nuts are generous in size but no backlash provision was fitted. The base has tapped holes for bolting it to a bench.
The Servo drill head has a dial indicator that reads 0.001" and there is a dial that indicates .1" to keep track of that digit. The small dial in the front is the depth stop and it has a resettable 0.001" dial and can be set to stop the quill anywhere along the 1.5" quill travel. This makes blind holes an easy task.
I just thought of a problem.... the chuck only goes to 1/8" and I can not find an edge finder that small. The only way I can think to find an edge is with rolling papers or a feeler gauge with a known diameter pin in the chuck. Anyone have any better ideas on how to find an edge with only 1/8" chuck capacity?
