    Can I keep kx3 on pallet?

    Can I keep my new kx3 on the pallet it came bolted on? Does the machine really even need to be level if the spindle is level with the workpiece? From what I'm thinking, the machine will do the same thing no matter what angle it is on the floor, even if it's hanging upside down am I wrong?

    You can do whatever you want!

    Should you do that NO!. Most of the shipping containers I've seen, with Chinese machine tools inside, barely make it across the Pacific.

    As to leveling the yes it should be done. Do not accept any arguements that it isn't a problem or that the machines are to stiff for it to matter.
