Yeah, that is a nice lathe. But at 4 times what the one I am getting weighs, it was too much for me to be trying to manhandle.
Actually, this lathe I am getting will probably be the last time I purchase anything that has to be moved by muscle power that weighs more than I do.
With age comes weeniness, I suppose.
Anyway, talked with the UPS dispatch today and the truck will be down here sometime tomorrow afternoon. They said if it is raining too hard to make delivery, they can reschedule for another day. So just going to play it by ear.
