When you were finished did you notice the same problem that "Yuri's" page showed, where by the y travel didn't allow the head to reach the front of the table? Also please keep us posted on how the new bearings work out, I understand that they require a break in procedure.

The stock bearings were bad; I guess I forgot to mention
that. I got the mill used and the previous owner didn't
really understand the MT#3 and had wailed on the spindle to
get the tooling out. The bearings were noisy and had much
more run-out than I wanted.
I'm sure I could have gotten the
bearings cheaper online, but I went to a local supplier. I
had ordered online and they sent the wrong part. I had a
limited window to get the project done and couldn't wait
for another online order to arrive.
I'm sure I overspent but the end
result is a much much better mill. Considering I got the
mill for free, I'm still ahead on it. It now has a solid
column, large table, belt drive, air spring, new bearings,
and 3-axis DRO system with Bluetooth Touch DRO The mill also
came with 2 vises, a coax indicator, dial test indicator,
end mills, reamer set, edge finders, parallels and a nice
vintage Kennedy 520 chest.
All told I'm into the mill for
around $600
I guess I
don't feel too bad about over spending on the
bearings.
