Yes this is a newer A&A frame, but I'm not going to attempt a 2-3-2 conversion just yet... possibly sometime after I get him built, I'll upgrade..<BR/><BR/>I have the machine screw in place under the rockler bearing for the right side of the utility arm carriage, but I ran out of machine screws to complete that rod. It's a minor thing that I can do later this week when I get a chance to run to the store. <BR/><BR/>I got my base ring for the C&D dome cut last night. It's not perfect, but it's pretty even. I had it sitting on the rockler last night and spun it around to see if there was significant movement on the cut line and I couldn't notice any. I think I have room to add a strip of styrene around that to create the bottom ring of the dome if needed, but I think it's ok for now.jduffphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127407759681968711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772187323730508611.post-84953746057897442342008-12-01T17:20:00.000-08:002008-12-01T17:20:00.000-08:00LOOKIN" GOOD!!!!I see you have'nt removed...LOOKIN" GOOD!!!!<BR/>I see you have'nt removed the front piece for the Large Data Port<BR/>yet.<BR/>I noticed you have the newer version of the A&A frame that comes with the holes for the 2-3-2 mode.
