The New South Bend 10K

[kennyv]

I was thinking of a older heavy 10 when I wrote that. Not the new one.

Me too! couldn't find the "ditto"

I couldn't resist the discount...I bought one. Fedex has it in the CLT. Now...how to get it in the house? I need to reinforce the floor first.
I made a dolly to move it.



The stand is 350 lbs and the lathe is 600.

Be very careful with that dolly.

This lathe, as far as lathes go, isn't very top heavy. Nevertheless, if the wood breaks or a wheel snaps off on your dolly you could be in for a bad day.

each caster is rated at 300lbs. The wood frame is glued and screwed and seems pretty tough. The rehearsal dinner will be bringing in the stand. If that goes OK I will forklift the lathe onto this dolly. I am putting two floor jacks under the joist that this will rest on.

I moved the lathe stand into the house today. It was a success with no problems. Wish me luck with the lathe itself! It comes Monday.
