Ok guys, so here is some more information.
Its in a basement, its an old cast iron lathe. I've posted a video on Youtube. just click this link >>>>
LINK <<<<< to view what the lathe looks like and how far I'm moving it.
I'm currently cleaning the lathe up right now. Removing what I can to lighten it up. Getting everything out from underneath it. Get it ready to move.
As you can see from the the video, its not going to be moving far at all. I'm putting it out of the way as the lathe hasn't run in years if not decades. I'm not much of a metal worker, it was my wifes grandfathers lathe. If I need to work with some metal, I just use the machine shop at work. Eventually, I do plan on getting this up and running, but not just yet. I need some room for my own projects so its being moved to a new location as this is sitting dead center of where I would like to set up my wood lathe and Jointer.
I appreciate the confidence that a number of you have in moving it yourself. I've been considering it, making the attempt. I can rent machine rollers from sunbelt for $35 for the day. I have a bottle jack rated at 3-4 tons so I can get it lifted up. I have my concerns of using a bottle jack directly on the cast iron cross beam to lift it up. Might rent a toe jack and crow bar up one leg to get the two jack on the other side, that brings me up to $60. So depending how much a rigger will charge.
