If anyone out there has recently received a new Powermatic lathe maybe
you can answer some of my concerns.

I am getting ready to order my new Powermatice 3520B lathe but am
concerning about how I
am going to move it after I get it on my driveway.

How completely assembled does the lathe arrive? Do the legs come
seperate or bolted to the lathe? I assume the tailstock and headstock
can be easily removed to lessen the weight?

We got ours from Woodcraft and it basically came in two crates. We
had three men on hand and that was plenty to move it. Keep them on
hand to lift the lathe assembly up after you have the legs bolted
together. Once it is all assembled two people can scoot it around
just fine as long as you don't have to move it very far. Assembly as
we got it was really no big deal other then dealing with the weight.
