I am ready to finally remove my lathe from the shipping pallet it came on. I got it wired up with the new motor / adapter plate to adapt a 75u to 56 frame, cuts fine too. I know these things are dangerously top heavy so I am requesting aid.
Do you think two medium sized guys could remove this off the pallet (about 5" above the concrete) ? Or would it be better to get a little more help or rent an engine hoist?
The machine is already about 3 feet from its intended spot. I dont mean to be a cheap $@! but I can rent an engine hoist for $30 for a few hours. At the same time I dont want to spend time running across town and bring it back for 10 minutes of use.
If I remember right the shipper said it weighed around 600 lbs loaded up.
