Careful here. Many 12x36 bench lathes weigh less, as I noted, but I
have seen and owned several that easily exceed that, including my old
prewar Sebastian.

Anyone with the werewithall to join two lathe beds like that
can figure out how heavy something is. Getting a slightly
larger machine like a 9 or 10 inch atlas, or long bed 9"
model A south bend, would be a better approach IMO.
