This is the haul for April 27, 2006. NOW we can get to work :-)!

Actually, the spare parts kit and the gibs came in from LMS the day before yesterday, but with the HF order here now I can get to work.

The other spare motor gear has already been installed. I kept the old one to remind me not to be dumb :-).

This doesn't seem like a lot to crow about, but it is the stuff that lets me get to actually using the mill in a more or less rational way!

The gibs were to polish up to hopefully smooth the mill out some, but upon reflection, I doubt that these by themselves would make much difference with everything else being rough.  

The dial test indicator that clamps in the chuck / collet. Now I can line things up a lot easier than trying to put the big dial indicator on the mill somehow. Should make things a lot simpler!  
The HF clamp kit for the micro mill. Much better than nothing. The clamps themselves seems a bit large for the micro mill, but this will do until I can find a better one.  
The parallels kit. 6" might be a bit long for the micro mill, but I suspect they will do.
