I have been meaning to build a hoist over the small lathe at work for three years,finally did it yesterday.-
Column is 2-1/2" sch 80 pipe,swing arm is 3" sch 80 pipe with a 4"standard I-beam 48" long and a 1" sch 80 pipe diagonal brace.
Its tied off to the wall with two lengths of 2 x 3/8" flat bar anchored in with four 5/8" expansion anchors.And has a 2-1/2" 150lb pipe flange base plate anchored with the same 5/8" anchors at two places.
Works slicker than snot,I can hang chucks at will and lift parts off the floor.Now I have to build one for the big lathe.
