As promised my new patriot is here. Picked up yesterday morning from YRC terminal. Bad thing was that they got it on Sunday but wouldn't unload truck till Tuesday because of too many weekend trailers to handle on Monday. Plus they dinged up the bottom table braces. Wished the whole thing would have been on a pallet and not just the table as one. But so far have cleaned up and doing spindle break in now. Computer is ready for hook up now. Just so you know when you purchase the full setup with CNC installed they sent a Dell computer with that is setup with all MACH 3 software. I have gotten all the programs I need installed as well. Came with 80gb hard drive 2gb memory and dual core 2.13ghz cpu with win xp sp3 installed. Hope by end of day to have cnc running. I also purchased 4 axis DRO to make setup easier and for when I do a manual job since is also my backup to my manual lathe and mill.
