Latest delivery. Seasonal UPS driver (temporary / short term for the holidays) in a U-Haul truck dropped this on my porch today and ran.
Plastic quill adjustment knob shattered, paint & bondo chipped off the back side of the tail stock, ID plate scarred up & unreadable and the 'included' #2MT dead center is MIA. I imagine it was ejected out of the bottom of the crate somewhere along the route, after the tail stock blew out the side of the crate while bouncing and sliding around.
A couple of days ago the UPS driver also dropped off a new 8" H/V rotary table and indexing plates for me. And I mean literally 'dropped' it in the middle of my driveway after he tried to pick up the 95 lb. crate off of his 4 wheel combo cart/dolly.
Thankfully the crate hit the pavement on the opposite side from where the hand crank/worm gear was. It bowed out the side of the crate but luckily no real damage was done. Not so lucky on the tail stock today though. Oh, and the sector arms for the dividing plates are made of plastic too.
