Moving The Turret Lathe In and First Run

Its not small!

Still don;t know who made this machine but it is almost fully functional., apologies for the dark video, the carport has never needed good lighting untill now.

I tested it with the Brook 2 Hp 1 phase motor, but normally it uses a 4Hp 3 phase motor.

Always use extreme caution when moving lathes and heavy machines, they are top-heavy and can topple over very easily when improperly moved.

Well done to making it to 400 vids mate, keep it going. Love the scrap yard visits, and motor infomation.

And you say that out of experience?

moving nearly 4000lbs of top-heavy iron is always dangerous.

[sinblesser]

That's not dangerous at all, lol.
