LEMETELLYA That head stock was a BEAST of a lift.
From the floor to a low stool from the stool to a bench, from the bench to the bed ( twice).
Got 'r up and runnin' and ohhhh sooo smooooothhhh, That three phase with the inverter really delivers too. Running it as the slowest possible I can't grab the hand wheel and slow it.
Love the tool rest positioning. Love it. Put that sucker anywhere on the bed and it stay. Changing the belt between the speed ranges is easy. Lift the motor lock it in position and move the belt.
I got the bed up with a Come-along and some chain and nylon webbing.
