Sieg SX2p HT Review
Will_D:
I suppose this review is mainly for UK as I think ARC Euro Trade have specified this particular configuration for themsleves. They are ( I believe very proactive with Sieg)
Well after the wait Santa has called round in spades.
Today I found this:
75 kgs of "stuff"
Quick open the box and fond the destructions.
I like the way there was a spare fuse included:
More to follow while I check the above has posted correctly
NB: That only took a few goes to get right!
Will_D:
Sorted out the images now I think!
Will_D:
SO whats in the box:
There was some bubble wrap, I like the foam pad behinf the electrics (at the back of the column) and also that the handwheels are removed.
After a bit of plywood removal here's the machine:
The brown cardboard box contains various bits and pieces (hand wheels and tools)
I like the way they included 4 "Tee" Nuts:
Now in order to stand a chance of lifting the beasty (60 kG) the slides were removed. They would be anyway in order to clean them up:
So we have "Tee" Nuts! What about strained nuts :bugeye:
Time to lift the mill into place of honour. This will be my new "goto" place in the workshop/cellar. She is now sitting on top of my kegerator [a kegerator is an old fridge dedicated to dispensing kegged homebrew].
I know you shouldn't drink and mill but we may have a summer this year and after a few hours chewing steel a frosty from below wins the day. [Better than a suds pump?]
So tommorrow is all about cleaning, degreassing, knock off high spots, more cleaning. I hope "Doubleboost (John)" has shares in brake cleaner!
As a general comment so far on the cleanliness of the machine: No traces of sand (other than some tiny bits that had been sprayed red!) , lots of moly grease and oil, no evidence of cast irom powder (magnet test).
Nearly time to hit the kegerator but before that does she run? I had bought the option speed readout and I must say belt drive and the HT motor are fantastic:
So thats it for tonight!
Overall so far I am very impress with ARC and this particular mill
Stilldrillin:
Nice one Will. Congratulations ! :thumbup:
Been there, myself, twice. :headbang:
Looking forward to your adventure unfolding....... :)
