Thanks for the tips... I got the stand built and the lathe is on the stand in the shop. Not a hard lift as it can be balanced easily but the challenges of using an engine hoist and the width of the hoist always present some minor challenges.
Not plugged it in or de-greased it yet. I plan on taking the next couple of days and the weekend to get it leveled, cleaned and broken in... along with the oil change.
I have a new QCTP so the insight on those particulars will be helpful.
The only thing that I have noticed so far is that the drive pulley for the motor is very rusty.. should be a quick fix but I don't want to put a belt on that pulley until I clean it.
