My new G0709 is finally in the garage! :D

Managed to get some work done on the levelling feet this evening. What an upgrade from my Atlas 10".
Coolant is nice, but definitely makes a mess. Still a long way to go, but a little at a time every day. ;). Going to raise it up 1.75" to help save my back. ;)

Ok, last post in this thread. Lathe is in position, levelling feet are finished and installed. Will check level again in a couple days after it settles. If I had to do it over, I'd have used 5/8" rod instead of 1/2"......... Other than that, levelling went pretty smooth, I was worried about not going with 1/2"-20, but 13 threads per inch seemed to work ok.
