Hi all,
I'm so tempted to buy a metal lathe. How in the world do you guys move these 300 lbs beasts into position? Do you rent a motor hoist or what?
For ease of moving it around in case I have to, I'm considering one that only weighs 90 lbs. It has a swing over bed of 7" and distance between centers is 11.8" also comes with a 3" 3 jaw chuck. Obviously no problem turning stems but, will it turn the block? Any comments?
Best to all.

So tempted!
I have a buddy of mine that will have a 7 x 10 speedway metal lathe for sale at the chicago show. If anyone is interested in taking a look at it get hold of me and I will introduce you two.
