Picked up my MR-1 yesterday. Assembled the base last night and poured concrete today. This is build Fifty-Seven because it seems like Heinz Ketchup, with the waiting and anticipation. Waiting on the concrete to dry out for 5 days now and then another 2 days for the epoxy. My MR-1 Serial# is 0009. Not sure how the units were packed and staged, but there were over a hundred other orders in before mine. It’s all good!

Thanks. All the videos you guys are putting out are awesome and make getting good results on our end very easy. Got the high-power Z-axis driver upgrade done last night. Hardest part was removing and then putting back the 17, yes 17 sheetmetal screws in the case. Actually, not hard, just a lot of them. 
Rubber hitting the road today:
Glad to make it to this point. Will be moving the spindle to the upper position and then checking Z-alignment to see if any further shimming might be needed, then on to the toolsetter and probe. Getting real close to having the machine ready for whatever I throw at it.
