| to do - that's when its time for a new job. :) This machine is engineered/designed by Grizzly and made in Cheena. I was a bit concerned about the build quality considering where it is manufactured but it really is a nice piece. We shall see how the motors hold up over time but everything else appears to be built rather well. I had no issues holding tolerances for the machining of the bearing/seal housing for the electric water pump or the intermediary shaft, which were calling for tolerances of +/-0.0003" in some areas. I found this company, ThinBit, that produces some miniaturized tooling for lathes and mills - spent a bundle on various items, but all quality stuff. [ http://www.kaisertool.com/Ads/All_ads.htm ]
