Looks like they goofed and forgot to pack the locking nuts with your order. Hopefully it won't take another three weeks to get the nuts!

Thank you for the update, Richard. I thought of fooling the machine too, but was afraid to mention it as I didn't want to risk breaking your bit. Happy days though - you got away with it without...

That is lookin' great, Dan.
