Well started on the floor *yet* again <sigh>
Moved a drum of hydraulic oil, one of ATF, one of way oil and a tool box.
Then I spotted it, small sliver of grey, shouted Gert to come and stand on it before it could escape and then rushed out and dragged a Bridgeport MDI mill in from outside and stood it on that spot to hold it down.
This came from a local college that was closing down, only made in the UK it's a servo driven CNC machine that's also manual.
Pressing the small button in at the side of the handwheels and it reverts to manual with the display for that axis swoping to a DRO.
You can also do the first part manual and enter the way points and it will do subsequent parts by CNC.
Cleaned it up since the photo was taken, most of the crap has wiped off as it was pasted up with heavy oil before it was sheeted down.
Should get it wired in this weekend and let small son loose on it as he trained on this at the college some while ago.
