I did the Millrite myself (with the considerable help of the seller,

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.

Given the time pressure, both the seller's and mine, and the weather, I
will just hire a rigger this time. But I do see how one could move this
lathe by oneself.
