HA HA its just a saying, but glad there is some good progress made here. I am working to try to have a cast iron base as an option for the machine, but striking out so far. (It can be done, but not at a reasonable price, yet anyway) But we will see what happens. There is always room for improvement, just a matter of if people can realize the difference, and if they are willing to pay the extra cost for it.
Looking at the 1340GT Lathe base though, I think that Rios method of leveling helped a great deal, I think that the shake he had was coming from that mounting bar on the bottom being right in the middle, it seems to flex there.
For example, Our PM-25MV is completely different than the similar sized machine that Grizzly has, and every single day I get calls and emails telling me that Grizzly has a lower price. It has different castings of a much better design, different motor, different drive, so much different on it. But every day, people insist that they are the same exact machine and that I need to match their price. A lot of people do see it, but a lot of them don't.
But if/when the cast base for this 1340GT is available, you guys will be the first to know.
