[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2357951, member: 116439"] No that is a brand-new lathe still on the shipping crate. There are specific type dollies for machinery that you can get, but for this size lathe and the tolerances it must meet, it has to installed on level concrete and the bed leveled with a specific machine level. We are building custom competition rifles and some parts need to be within the ten thousands. We are renovating our shop with all new equipment, machinery, tooling along with electrical, lighting, heat & air, special epoxy painted floors and paneling/sound damping walls & ceiling. Two days before my Spinal cord operation I got the lathe moved into the permanent place. I just need to use two lifts to raise it up, take the wooden shipping base off and install rubber/metal leveling feet. I am not allowed to do any lifting/bending until my flesh & muscle adheres to the SCS wire that is along my spinal cord to the base of my skull. I dare not move the electrical implant unit it is healed in place. They said six weeks from Nov 23rd so I hope to start turning barrels Jan 2022. I can't wait to start shooting again and we have several builds with all the components just sitting in boxes waiting to be machined and put together. Our plan earlier this year was to have the 6.5X284 and the 6MM BR built for "F" Class and hopefully have the 338LMAI done by the end of 2021 (or 2022) for ELR. Issues with my spinal cord and surgeries kind of set us back. One good thing about all this wait is that we have acquired all the rifle components & optics, all the tooling with exception of some custom reamers that should be here by years end, all the reloading components Brass, Bullets, Primers, and a variety of Powders. So once the lathe starts turning the barrels will be done, rifles assembled, Cartridges loaded, and then sending lead down range. Looking forward to a GREAT 2022 and some nice rifles to build and shoot! Thanks Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
