No yesterday was real busy with the mill today is doctor day for the wife she gets first call so sorry
The mill came in on a double tall pallet nice and strong but that much higher i was not able to get the mill through the garage door with the plywood on it but had no problem with clearance once it was off i used the 2 ton harbor freight cherry picker to lift the machine we had to put one leg up in the air to be able to get clearance so we tied it down with my tractor it was everything the cherry picker could do to lift made everything short and tight
This was not the best plan
Once the pallet was out of the way i could pick it up enough to move it
I used straps around the ram to get balance but i also used the picking eye
I had a good truck driver but it was very tippy getting off the truck
I still need to put the pads under it and i think i will use the holes in the casting
Very pleased with the machine so far but have not moved things around untill cleanup
Well thats the book report for now yes long winded
