Aciera:Tool Gloat

[crankshafter]

Hi Guys.
Well I'm back home from 1000km roundtrip to pick up the Aciera F3.(http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=17676.0) Have been a long journey 9h drive each way(stayed night over in Bergen. Loaded and strapped the mill this morning and started on my way home on bad roads-rainstorm-fog-blizzard and the most beautiful wether w/ sun and snowy mountains- 3 fjord crossings w/car ferry's- over 4 mountain passes thru numberless tunnels.(short description on how the nature is here on the West/ Northwestern part of our contry)
But now is my Aciera here to stay. What am I gonna do with my RF-clone? Sell it? Or offer it to my nephew(allready give a way one Myford Ml7 and a small Emco CNC lathe to him) he have a bigger garage than me. ;D
Do I hear pics. oh! oh! give me time till tomorrow guys. I promise.
CS,

Hi guys I'm back with some pictures of the Aciera mill.
First, strapped down in the van.

And here on the forklift-

and here you can see the assoseries comes with it: from left Horr. ram, next vertical head and the slotting head and a rack with collets from 1 to 15.5 mm and on the werry top hardley wisible the horr.arbors 22 and 25 mm.

there is a crappy paint job on it but I will repaint it in the original collor seen on the horr. ram.
Every thing seams to be in a smooth and good condision, will try it under power hopefully to morrow.

PS. Mosey: I hardly taste the Aquavit anymore but before I love it together with a glass(or two) :big: with cold beer. Skål.
