I made room enough to move the G0704, and using my new hoist I set the 
BS-1 back off of the table, then picked up on the table enough to 
wrestle the 450 lb mill out about 90 degrees, then found the 3/8" cap 
screws in the back of the post were apparently lock-tighted or 
gawdawfull tight as it took a 6 foot piece of 3/4 conduit for a cheater 
on the allen wrench to move any of those 4 bolts. I'd estimate I was 
lifting well over 100 lbs 4 feet away from the bolt before any of them 
moved. Even with the bolts all loose, I can only shake the top of the 
post about 1/16", so the bolts fit the bolt holes very precisely. I 
don't have a cylindrical square so I think I'll scan a square i've 
trusted for a long time, and see if I can retighten it with at least the 
same but opposite error on each side, get the bottom bolts to hold it 
there, then scan the front and back and maybe add a layer of reynolds 
wrap as shim to plumb the in-out lean, all referenceing the table.  That 
ought to be better than it was.

Fun and games, no, screaming back, yes. Now I need to switch hats and 
decide what I'm cooking.  Its  dinner time on this side of the pond.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
