How to Move a Lathe

a Lathe is movable with a clear plan. The goal is to lock the carriage, remove chucks, and plan for extreme weight so it arrives intact and ready to set up.

Pro tip: Hire machine movers for metal lathes over a few hundred pounds.

Watch out: Do not lift an a Lathe alone if it is awkward or heavy; get a partner or use a dolly.
