Hmmm, now what?
Seriously new newbe here.
I really didn't think I would, but it looks like I might have won (remote online auction, based on pics only) an auction for a Cincinnati Toolmaster 1D? vertical mill. Now that I might really have to move it, it looks a lot bigger and heavier than it did before. Thinking about trying to do the BP type 'configuration' (knee down, flip head, strapped to h#$% and back).
Can anybody comment on whether that should work, and if so, is there oil in that head?
Can it be drained without it just spilling out when the head is flipped?
Any other gotchas to watch out for?
Is there an easier way to set it up to move?
Are riggers/movers the 'sensible' way to do this? ($$$$)
Does the addiction to these tools ever end?
Thanks in advance for any advice
