Hi Terry
Thanks for the reply, I love it. It's the first VS Machine I have realy used at home,
we have a multitude of machines at the club but the big ones are far too dear for me.
My requirements were quite wide but it had to have a rotating head stock, be of high
quality. I wanted an indexer and the VS, the 2MT and M33 Headstock mount is becoming
pretty standard now so that made it compatible with a lot of the clubs equipment (useful).
I coulden't justify the Model 1500 which had the sliding headstock so went for the 1400
that was at the top of my budget (plus a bit) and have to say that I am glad I did. The
Headstock is not easily removable so getting it from the front of the house down to the
shed on my own in the rain was no mean task, I had to arrange for delivery when the
better half was out. It arrived at 8:00am in the morning bolted down to a pallet so I
was able to tie some straps to it and use the pallet as a sled and pull it down the steps
along the lawn and into the shed. Got it onto the bench and there it will stay.
