So I decided to jump into the deep end with both feet, and my new PM-949 TS is here.
It was actually delivered last week to my friend’s warehouse but he was out of town, so it had to wait.
Spend all day yesterday figuring out how to get it from there to my basement.
Ended up disassembling a lot of it and making 2 trips in order to be able to handle the weight.
Still have to figure out how to get the base and knee into the basement. I ended up parking the trailer in the garage for now until I can get some more assistance with moving it into the basement.
Initial impressions of the machine are excellent. It seems to be very well made and carefully finished. Everything moves smooth as glass. Can’t wait to get it up and running, but to be truthful that will take a while, as I still have to do more cleaning in order to make a spot for it and then reassemble it, run power, figure out how to setup the VFD, install the power feed, and DRO. I will have plenty to keep me busy for a while.
If anyone has hints or suggestions please feel free to provide them.
I am noob here and interested in learning.
