Ok Guys,
Here is a question I know some will have answers to.
I am getting ready to move my mill from one location to another. About 25 miles.
Have some time but not $ to spend on moving it intact.
It is a bridgeport clone.
Mehanite castings
42" table.
Not varispeed but step pulley with 2HP 2speed 3 phase motor, Also has rotary convertor mounted on the back of the base.
Also has the one shot luber.
Is there anything I need to be warned about ?
I have a shop crane, cherry picker, engine hoist, what ever you want to call it.
Its capacity is not enough for the total machine.
What I want to know is....
Approx weight of large parts.
And any do's or dont's.
Can I break it down into sub assembies that will be easier to transport.
And of course I will not have the crane in both locations at the same time.
Head assbmy ?
Table assbmy ?
knee assbmy ?
Base assbmy ?
Approx weights ?
On the head, would it be better with the dovetails and leave the head ring on the base or should I consider that a assbmy also.
Tell me as much as possible.
Any other questions ask please.....
Thanks
John
