What was that big piece of steel for?
It was between the lathe and the pallet.. probably to spread out the weight?
nice.
I have had 3 or 4 machines that I bought (not from Tormach) arrive with the pallet half collapsed and the machine sitting drunkenly on the remnants. That would be a nice touch (although 2x6 across the top of the pallet would probably do just as well and be cheaper).
