Ordered two machines from QMT at the beginning of November. The PM-1340 GT and PM-935 TV should be here in a couple of weeks. I'll try and document the process going forward.

I'm betting you won't be disappointed with that combo sitting in that nice shop space either ;)
Sure enjoy mine.

A little scary getting the mill down and the lathe took a long time because of the broken secondary pallet. Needed all four of us to get her down. The crates appear to be in good shape so I think all is well. I'm going to do the floor where they will be set before uncrating. Stay Tuned.
 
Hey Monk! I just made the connection - you bought the depth mic from me 6 months ago. Hope it worked out.
You're going to love your PM1340GT!! Having the nice shop makes it even better.
I just moved to Arizona from NY (Hi Mark! (MKSJ)). Still trying to get my shop set back up....in a MUCH smaller garage. Oh well.
Hope your setup goes well. My one recommendation is drill four holes in your floor and anchor that lathe down, if you want it to be REALLY solid and stable.
Matt (QMT) probably already told you that.

What a Christmas for you!

The shippers put them on those flimsy secondary pallets, they almost always arrive broken. Nice setup, great combination of machines. I had heard that the newer PM1340GT have 4 supports on the headstock cabinet, Rio was the one who figured that one out. Hey Rio, welcome to sunny Arizona, what a change.

I have the same lathe & mill, you will not be disappointed. Check out the various modifications MKSJ and others have done to make these machines even better.

Looks like we are neighbors, welcome to Prescott!
