The New 1340GT from PM

[Havoc]

Called RRF today and I am scheduled for an AM delivery tomorrow. My VFD showed up yesterday so I mounted it in my NEMA enclosure last night. I was under the assumption that it would arrive in the crate with the lathe but it showed up via UPS.

Mike,

did you get it yet?

Delivery went great and pictures coming. I don't want to hyjack the thread. Besides, mine won't hold a candle to Danny's with all the fancy options.:man: I had to order mine just as a standard non-DRO setup and I don't use coolant. Besides, I had splurged so much on the 935TV that I couldn't go overboard on the lathe.

I will say it is a very nice lathe after playing with it for about 8 hours or so yesterday setting it up.

Mike.

Awesome, now all you need it's for your mill to arrive in the next couple weeks and you are back in business.

So as not to hijack this thread, I started a new one with my setup and impressions so far. It can be seen here.

Mike,

I think the unit is top notch, solidly build, i love the stand....very heavy duty. I ordered the coolant option, and the on off switch for the coolant wasn't install, i don't know if they leave that up to the end user or just forgot...but its no big deal . I know you had problem with the whole back order thing, i ordered mine on June 26th and got it delivered on August 6th, so I guessed I my timing was just right. Since i had such a positive experience with PM I am thinking about order their PM-45M-CNC. I gotta keep up with you Mike.
