I can see the ad now:
"ESTATE SALE: PM9X49 and JET 13X40 in almost new condition. old guy bought and used very little. Lotsa tooling."

Justification to wife:
the lathe broke. how can I get those rifles ready for sale?
Not again, well you're not getting a new one.
Well, OK, i'll try to make part with the rinky dink mill.
No stupid, order part....... months later

Parts came in, won't work.
order the right ones......2 more months
they sent the same dxxx parts.
Just order a machine, but no new lathe.
"Hello, Matt....."
Mike, have I got a great machine. Be here in 3 weeks.

now you know the story.
(how do I rotate?)

It happens sometimes when you post a pic taken on a tablet or cell phone.

tnx tried to delete couldn't do that, fixed, you did.
 
Very nice. And very large! Maybe someday...

Keep the pics coming. First one I've seen this close up. :)
 
thanks to the members of this forum I anticipated the rotation about lift point and designed frame according. hope this helps future. Jack bolt threads are in base and I have elastomer isolation bearings. but need jack screws in place first.
 
That reminds me of when my 935 arrived... it had the head turned down. You can move the ram on the base to level it while hanging (do this when the machine is on the ground) if you want... I did and it made me feel a bit better about it hanging... :)

Remember that guy is HEAVY... Thankfully it is less of a balance issue to pick up, than a lathe.

Good pics, please keep them coming!
