First I want to thank HM, for all the reviews on this style of equipment, after a few evenings of reading on this forum, the choice to go with Precision Matthews and Mat, became easy.
I ended up ordering the PM1236 w/preferred package and DRO, Since that was not enough money spent to upset the wife, I ordered the PM932 with 3 axis DRO and the power down feed.
Both Greg and Matt too time to answer all my questions, along to listen to me ramble on. Matt worked with me after the original order when I changed my mind and wanted to add the DRO to the PM1236 I also included all the basic start up tooling that PM offers.
So On Oct 17,2017 The call from my local truck dock comes in and says my 3 pallets are in and read to be picked up.
I make arrangements with my Uncle so we can go on the next day and pick them up, the load on to the trailer was simple enough and the 3 mile ride to the shop with out mishap.
I did not notice and damage to the crates or punctures. so they shipped well down to me.
Now the fun began, knocking the boxes open and getting the stands in place.
Once we got ready to move the equipment, my original plan when out the window, Engine hoist and a dirt path would not cut it. I had to call a buddy with hist Bobcat to come over to pick them off the trailer and set them on the shop floor, to then be picked up with the engine hoist. Before that could even happen we had to move the base of the CWT Multi-Bal 5000 to even have floor room to work with.
But by 4pm in the afternoon, they were on the stands and sitting pretty.
Still a ways to go before they are up and running, got to get them cleaned up and leveled.
For level feet I uses 1/2x13x3inch carrage bolts. double nuts and flat washers, since all my other equipment sits on simular set ups, I figured this would work for the PM equipment also.
