The UPS guy arrived 10 minutes after I called Houston wondering about my new machine. I haven't opened it yet and hope my probe is inside with it. I have also received all the parts I needed for the machine I got just before Christmas that was a fixer upper from Sears. I should have both up and running soon but will go through all the preliminaries to make sure they are set up properly. I also have a 1650CFM dust collector to install.
Having worked on the Sears machine I am well aware of the intricacies of the mechanical requirements of maintenance. I am getting quite an education. All this build up has let me prepare with two 3 ring binders full of documentation to include all the .pdf's I could find. I even have downloaded all the available video demos. Shortly I will be making a photographic and video documentary of my endeavors to include the unpacking and initial set up of the machine.
I would like to become as well versed on the machine and its capabilities as possible. I sure appreciate the help I am getting here on the Forum. I notice that many members are within shouting distance and I plan on meeting as many of them as possible when I can get out and travel around the state. There are two of us in the immediate area. I see some from the Cincinnati area and at least one out west of here. If possible, I will be stocking parts as soon as I can get set up. At this point I am planning on the first of April to begin a regular little shop out in my barn and that is no fooling.
Keep on Carvin'!
