Bob,
I wrote a user manual and it's in the thread called PM 1236 FAQ. There's a preliminary version and an updated version. Make sure you get the second one.
Here you go.... grab the manuals from Post #13 of this link. http://www.hobby-machinist.com/show...Q-(Frequently-Asked-Questions)?highlight=1236

Yes Will I was very concerned. I was in the pickup, pulling it so the truck driver could get the liftgate up so I didn't see it go over. But since I am a pilot I learned not to get distracted about problems. I immediately got busy trying to get in upright and into the shop. It was a real job but once we got it in the shop on the concrete it was pretty easy to handle. I also have an 1100# winch that I used to pull it into the shop. Then I lifted it off its pallet and onto two 1000# movers dollies into the room I wanted to put it in. Then I assembled the base, lifted the lathe with the engine hoist and slid the base under it. I had already attached the base to the 4x6's for feet. I think it is too short for me anyway.
Trying to learn what all the dials and levers do and have checked tailstock alignment and ran the break-in procedure that Ray recommended. Right now I'm making a new nut with handle for the top of the QCTP. I don't like using a crescent wrench. I made one for my G0602 and like it very much.
I hope to learn lots more from you guys on this forum
