Moving a lathe
#8
I've moved a number of lathes by myself, with psoriatic arthritis affecting my fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders means I'm unable to lift much more than a few kgs. I take the things apart: Tailstock, carriage gearbox, headstock. Also gives you a chance to inspect and familiarise yourself with the workings. I even had to take a geared headstock apart as it was just too heavy. Beds are easy as they can be moved by using a trolley. Other heavy parts I wrap a rope around my neck and attach to the part to be moved.
