Well, I chose to remove the plastic gears and axle with bearings, gear shifter etc 😉
Communication and shipping were excellent, needed a little wiggling to get the pulleys on the same height on my X2P, overall super satisfied, highly recommended.

Taig Peatol Grimberg mini lathe
After not liking some elements of the first lathe I got, the Emco Unimat 4 I went looking for another one, that did have those features or differently than this Emco, while still being quite small in size, but not capability.
An Emco Compact 5 was an option, cause it could also do threading, but most for sale were too expensive for their age/usage and not a lot were offered anyways. The 2 major other ones were Sherline and Taig (also known als Peatol or Grimberg) and even if Sherline also makes a lot of stuff in metric, you just don’t see them sold in EU much, Taig however, even if not metric, was. And then I found one.

Obstructive and Central Sleep Apnea Syndrome
As it turns out, after a sleep measuremement
that where up to 5 breath stops is normal (per hour), I have 66
I snore at 68dB (like a loud telephone)
sleep too light and often wake myself, out of breath or cause of own snoring noise
have (at lowest) only 70% blood/oxygen saturation
which is super heavy on the body/arteries (like running a marathon), which then may/be cause of acid reflux issues and overweight (metabolism troubles). So I need a cpap machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)

3D printed Surface Pro 3 Docking Station Adapter
When even Microsoft offers a 3d printable adapter plate too, to use the Surface Pro 3 (9.1mm thick) dock with a Surface Pro 4 (8.45mm thick), but then changing from an 0.2mm to an 0.3mm layer height, so it prints thinner (!) to fit your Surface Pro 5 (8.5mm thick)

perfectly chosen for great sound at low levels
When you think there is a choice, and yes there are a lot of options to ‘choose’ from, but all you witness is gravitation… ?

Electronics on my mind
Mounting the electronics on a rear panel, facing forwards, I only have ~73mm space, so while using DIN rails, I sought other cooling options, so three 60mm fans mounted at 90 degrees it is then ?
