[QUOTE="CreviceSucker, post: 541298, member: 1804"] Ouch . Lathes can be top heavy buggers . did you have forklift tynes underneath the bed or was it a small lathe being moved with an engine crane ? some people make a lifting plate that bolts on top of and underneath the ways right at the balancing point and put a lifting eye bolted through them. maybe you can use that method when you are ready to unload it. .... I recommend that when nobody is looking you do a John Cleese routine on the lathe so it knows who is boss. Get some thick willow branches and whip it while screaming incoherently until it says sorry.... [/QUOTE]
