I overshot the first line hone by a thou and a half and had to cut the caps. I used my flycutter in the mill and this is first thing in the morning and when I should have gone home and worked around the house. The CNC calved on me--so I farted around with it for about an hour before I went to plan B which is the ole Sunnen cap grinder--which sucked because I had to dress the stone for every cap-and it made a huge mess and I hate wearing a dust mask and it isnt near as or accurate/nice as the milling machine. Oh and it's way slower. Oh and by the end of the day I just couldn't accept that the CNC was actually broken--so I opened the back panel and I discovered the X-axis servo amp connector was loose! I plugged it back in properly and back up and running! I didn't trust the cap grinder job so back in the tool maker vice and indicated and fly -cut them all to the same dimensions. Re-torqued them and snuck up on the target dimension. I burned 5 hrs by not doing what I should have in the first place and that was fix the milling machine. J.Rob
