I actually read that when I bought the machine.

I ended up renting a drop deck trailer because I needed to move my forklift during the same time frame.

The trailer worked out real nice but it was like 600 bucks for a week.

My plan this time was was to load it onto my gooseneck with the mill, toolbox and my bench.

At that point though I will be way beyond weight if that machine really weighs that much.

From that:

The first thing that you need to do is find out the weight of your machine. Find the serial number on your LeBlond lathe or K.O. Lee grinder and enter this information on LeBlond Ltd.’s online Contact Form.

LeBlond will investigate your inquiry and get back to you with your machine’s weight.

I have a little bigger version of that lathe and can pick it up with a 5k forklift. Not sure what that means exactly though.

So it must be 5 k lol or less

 

[Tizken]

So it must be 5 k lol or less

I know it'll pick up more than it's rated for, but it's somewhat in that range.

 

[Lilyota]

So it must be 5 k lol or less

A lot of what I am seeing online says 4000 to 5000.

I'll get some weights tomorrow when my kid gets home.

He has keys to the quarry/scales.

From that:

For 50 bucks they will send out a book for my machine.


Looked at that site when I first got the machine.

 

[Stuck]

Bridgeports 2-3k depending on which model. My series 1 is 2k.

 

[Dethmachinefab]

Mill is 2200. Lathe I'd guess between 7-8k. What's the swing and bed length on that?

 

[arse_sidewards]

And that while we are playin this game.

2500, tops

Those problems stop when you stop buying hobbyist lathes that are 1ft wide and sit on metal cabinets that are 3ft tall. Lathes don't really get taller as they get bigger and the necessary increased width and depth of the bed on bigger lathes means more weight is down low.

I'm pretty sure I'd need to get my lathe up to like 30deg before it wants to go over.

 

[PAE]

4K-7K on the lathe.

3500 to 4500 on the Bridgeport.

 

[Safe Dude]

7 to 8 k on the lathe , 2500-3000 on the mill

 

[MattS]

Is that a 19x72? They are 5600ish.
