I am looking into purchasing an old Mori Seiki SL-1 CNC lathe that is a few states away. I've been looking into getting a freight company to deliver it, but I may have to go get it myself with a flatbed trailer.
What is the best way to secure this style lathe to a trailer? My trailer has six large D-rings and I've moved bridgeports and larger engine lathes before, but it doesn't appear there are great places to attach chains / straps to this machine...what would be the best way to secure it?
The turret is blocked to the tailstock and I'm not too worried about the electronics as the machine will be retrofitted with a Centroid control.
