Will do, Mike, and thank you.

The first on the to do list when I get it is to remove the FWD/STOP/REV lever riding on the apron, and the associated switch actuator rod. Replace the system with push button switches. After using the 2 lathes for awhile now with the switch boxes and VFD systems designed by Mark, I am spoiled. When I had the lever on the 1236 I could not recall how many times I accidentally bumped the lever and started the lathe.

Now that Mark has the experience with the Yaskawa VFD system on his ERL, I will be knocking on his door again for help on figuring out how to integrate the switch box on this lathe.

I am hoping the lathe comes with a good wiring diagram.

Nez great upgrade, it is a beast of a machine and nice to have a new turn key lathe. I know a number of other people that have this lathe and they all love this one. Look forward to hearing/seeing more about your new addition to the machine orphanage. Well help as needed.

Jeff,

Will do.

For the grunt work to pick it up from carrier (according to Matt the lathe is too heavy for lift gate) and place it in the garage, I have requested quotes from 2 rigging companies in Austin. They both came up with almost identical pricing - 1500. Will ask other companies.

I can certainly use your help when the day comes, thanks.

Is that set up and leveling and all, or just hauling a crate to the garage? Seems a little bit high, usually about half of that or less from what I hear, but it varies a lot around the country. If it was me, I would rent a forklift which around here goes for about $300 / day with delivery, but it all depends if you are comfortable with using one. The riggers are insured, but its pretty easy to handle with a forklift too.

No leveling just, uncrate, set base and set lathe on top. They haul out the crating.
