Change him out, I hate canned answers. "and how do you feel about that" is one of them.

My wife thinks that I should change him out, as well. He seems disinterested, and not at all proactive.

Of course I made it right. I did that within minutes of receiving the replacement order.

Ok. Thank you.

I am now trying to decide if I want to (A) hire a rigging company, or (B) rent a forklift & do that myself.

I considered both. The forklift rental was 1/2 of a rigging company. If you are savvy about timing you can usually get a weekend free (rent on Friday, the towing company delivering the forklift doesn't work on Saturday, pickup on Monday. That gives you time to think, time to unpack carefully, time to fiddle around with positioning, and time to go slow and safe.

A big advantage to using professional riggers is insurance. If they dump the lathe, it is covered, if you dump the lathe... not the best way to start off with a new machine. Stuff happens I know people with experience moving large machines who have had accidents.

I’m going to go with “better safe than sorry”. I wonder how much it would cost to unload the 4,000 lb or so long pallet from the freight truck and transport it up a suburban driveway, placing the lathe just inside the garage and parallel to the street. The riggers would need to square it up. I bought a 6” machinist level so I can fine tune the leveling.

I also wonder how much empty space I should leave between the back of the lathe and the inside of the garage door. My neighbor Pat is such a crybaby that I wouldn’t be surprised if I had to add soundproofing and a decibel meter.
