Nice to see I have company in this camp, Les. It doesn't feel quite so lonesome. ;-) Got the light up, nice and bright. Now all I have to do is sit on my hands till all the other stuff gets here. I think in the meantime, when some decent 6mm carriage bolts arrive to replace the junk bolts supplied for holddown clamps, I'll make provisions to insulate them so I can run a probe wire to the workpiece. Make the alignment gismos work a lot easier. But darn it, those came in SS only on fleabay, so I hope the brass inserted finger nuts I bought for that aren't going to gall to the SS bolts. I hate SS with a passion, I've had to break too many of them in 5/16" thru 7/16" and replace with copper, 300' up in the air while working on transmission lines. And no one has invented a never-seize that works on SS crap. I think something along the lines of formica ought to cover that, and it will glue on a lot better than teflon or kaptan. Anything tuff enough to stand the pressure and prevent the clamps from shorting the workpiece to the bed will do. > > So I probably bought the wrong one.
