    Finished it up about an hour ago , now waiting on some JB Weld on
    the Y axis DRO scale stationary mount to cure .
    My biggest worry was the alignment of the reworked nut would be off .
    But it runs smooth as silk thru the entire range . Dovetails on X are a
    tiny bit tight at both ends , but not enough to matter - and from now on
    I'll be copying Bob and moving the vise around instead of always setting
    it in the center .
    Oh , and backlash is ZERO now .
