Anyone try the Lift-n-lock mobile bases for Jet & PM lathes on any of the big Grizzly units? (available at both Craft-Supplies and Packard) I tried the search function but couldn't find anything
I have not Ralph. A couple of times when I have needed to move my lathe, I have used a jack and put a couple of those small moving dollies from Harbor Freight under the leg castings, and rolled it where it needed to be. I also transported my former G0698 on my trailer for the 36 mile ride up the interstate to our club meeting space. Easy to get on/off the trailer with those dollies. Two people to keep it balanced is necessary.
See page 2 and page 4 of the photos of this community for some of the casters-movers ideas.
Thanks Mark Greenbaun's looks like an adaptation of the (commercial) Lift-Lock-and Roll system that I'm looking into
Ralph, I looked at the one from craft supplies too but had a friend make one just like it for me. it should work on the grizzly you may just have to make the slot that slide around the feet I little bigger. I could never find out what the distance between the feet are on a PM also I installed mine on the inside of the legs my shop is a 2 car garage that I have to get 2 cars in ever night so space is at a premium mounting on the inside saves a few feet. but work great.
