how many pieces

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

I briefly debated moving lathes into the shed. For ease later i decided against it. Roll straight out for lifting onto a lorry now. Mind you ive got 7 years here so i knjow they will havemto move again.

When you have the lathe midway you will regret it mate.

how many pieces

You should get some idea from the picture of the cabinet

Wow. Don't weigh that much after having a read. Crack on mate. Wouldn't want to do it with mine. Near 800kg

Its not that heavy, make a wheeled trolley, or bolt a scaff plank to a scate board, 3 people and off you go.

You are worrying and over thinking. Biggest issue is keeping the Mrs out long enough to get it through the house.

ha ha that is a great idea!

I might have to beef up the power supply to the workshop down there soon
the previous owner has clipped 2.5mm T/E to the fence not the best of ideas now with a lathe and possibly a tig set going to be down there is it.

Actually what kind of juice will this lathe require

Moving it through the house, that may be sooner than you think.

And be prepared to eat rotisserie chicken for the rest of your days - which may be short upon the land.

What sort of distance are you going? I'd beef it up a bit to either a 4mm or 6mm 3 Core armour - not expensive to do and you can bury that.
