I've seen a number of lathes being moved in various videos on
Youtube, but most of these have a base that can be rolled on
pipes. I need to move a lathe with feet. It has four feet and
each foot is about 4" x 4" on a 22" x 64" pattern. What is the
best approach? Thanks.


How heavy is the machine?
How far you going?
What kind of floor do you have?
What condition is the floor???

If you have a smooth cement floor take a look at moving skates. Like
