That is a very nice machine. You're braver than I am - in spite of the wait I'd have likely just refused delivery. There's no excuse for a large heavy expensive item to show up with the crate in that condition. I don't know about Salt Lake, but I've seen how the bob tails drive in Fort Worth, Dallas and Atlanta and it's not pretty. And I drive fast in traffic. Having stated such, these machines put up with a lot of guff. You think about the trip from the factory to your door and all the bump and grinding that occurs in between, then we stand 'em up and fuss over .0005 per foot of adjustment.

Like the stand - have to remember that when I finally get up into the knee mill territory. Nice shop too, like the layout.
