We're going to watch, ask questions and take good notes.

Well, things are mostly back in order.

However, we discovered a bent shaft that drives the live tooling motor (really a gear box) and possible damage to the motor itself.

New parts will be here monday.

My wallet will be $4500 lighter :(

Life goes on. The upside is that it should run well long after the machines paid for.

The other upside is that I may be able to recover some or all of this from the seller as it was somewhat misrepresented.

Both upsides are good ...

Could go either way.

With what I've already put in combined with my upcoming parts and labor bill ill be at five figures.

Ill retain council to try and recover that.

That's pretty significant.

I'd do the same.
