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.

I've moved heavy loads with four trailer tongue jacks bolted to a
temporary frame of 2" wooden planks. Their price is comparable to
regular swivel casters of similar load capacity and you don't need
anything else to raise or lower the load.

If you replace their axles with longer bolts you can attach forked
handles to steer and pull them.




I LIKE THAT.

Saw a big CNC router table with trailer jacks permanently mounted once.
Of course it was a lot lighter machine.
