My lathe arrived yesterday afternoon!! I feel like a kid at Christmas!
After taking 10 minutes to get the lathe from the front of an otherwise empty truck due to a mis-loaded and broken pallet - the driver had a bit of a scare on the lift gate... and I really think my heart stopped for a couple of seconds!!
Learned a little later the headstock was at that end with nothing supporting the weight!!
Had to get a bit aggressive getting the broken pallet out from under the lathe's pallet... driver had no idea why the loaders did that.
This morning... sorry for the poor lighting...
Is this why there is sometimes an oil shortage in the world??? Lordy some of it was thick!!
No, I didn't lose any fingers... they are behind the tool helping it along through that goop!
