New Hawk...! down 1 To Go.
Just received two new Hawks Yesterday from apscusa.com. One is assembled and all tuned up. The other is in the crating ready for assembly. The only trouble I had was that the front wheel hub spacer was missing. Luckily I have a CNC Mill so I just made one. Now to get them Titled, Registered, and Insured.

It's not just you Ron B, those front forks need to be lowered a bit by the looks of the front wheel/fender and headlight

Congrats! I hope the second assembly goes well.
I'd love to see pics of your mill.

That's very cool! Is it a five axis mill?

Mill Specs
weldandgrind,
Its a 3 axis Haas OM-2A. It has a 30000 rpm spindle, 12x10x12 travel and tops out at 400ipm feedrate. I picked it up at an auction a few years ago for 10K but it had a bad spindle. I rebuilt it myself to save some money. |

I'll bet there isn't much you couldn't build with it. In fact, you could probably replicate the entire mill.
