Default Clausing 5914 Questions

I did the Millrite myself (with the considerable help of the seller,
Steve Smith), but this time I have the names of some good riggers
(versus trying to pick names from the yellow pages like the last time).
So, first, I'll get quotes from the riggers. Tomorrow.

If I were moving a 5914 right now I would bolt a 4 foot long board to
the left front and left rear feet of the lathe. That would give it a
broader base and keep it from tipping over to the front or rear. Once it
starts to go over, 1200 pounds can bruise the shoulder trying to stop
it. I know.
