Mark,
I just received my 1340GT and plan to lift it with a hoist ring like you did. The bottom of the bed is parallel to the top in the center but it slopes down toward the ends. I looks like if the bottom plate is as far toward the headstock as possible on the flat section, that there is just enough room for the bolt to catch the bottom plate through the opening in the bed. Is that correct? How did the lathe balance with the hoist at this location?
Thanks,
Paul
