If you didn't already buy them, I expect they're gone. If he still has
them, grab 'em.

price. I will probably sell the mill and keep the lathe. It is a
garage sale type of deal.

The mill is about 6" tall and very heavy. I would like to know how
much it weighs. The lathe is small, about 2' between centers, but has
power feed (so does the mill). Everything seems to work and there is
no excessive wear and no play.

Also, I am not sure how to transport this stuff, the lathe is easy,
but the mill is going to be difficult.

Get a rigger to do it. By the time you rent a truck or trailer and
maybe some lifting equipment, screw around trying to figure it out, risk
damaging the mill and/or your body, and spend most of a day, it just
isn't worth it. Especially with the deal you're getting. Just pay for
someone to do it. And you'll get the lathe moved along with it for
practically nothing extra.

Just my $.02,
Bob

For $850, I hope you jerked his arm off handing him the money. As for
getting it home, few possibilities: a) liftgate truck, b) U-haul low
trailer. In any regard you will need some machinery rollers, should be
able to rent those at the nearest equipment rental place for cheap.

You can't 'idiot proof' anything....every time you try, they just make
better idiots.

If by any chance the machine has a lifting eye, and you are not going
far, a good solution is an auto wrecker, just haul it on the hook. This
is especially attractive for top heavy machines, which might tip with
many of the alternatives.

This is my tale of moving a Clausing 8540 (horizontal mill):

These things are very top-heavy, so it's best to lift them from above, not
below!

Fair? That's a fantastic deal. Grab it, ... fast!

I have the 8520. Paid $1,600.00 for it, and that was a good deal as far as i
was concerned.

It is not heavy at all.

much it weighs.

A few hundred pounds.

power feed (so does the mill). Everything seems to work and there is

Do you even know how lucky you are?

No, not difficult at all. The mill comes apart very easily in about 6 to 7
parts. It can then easily be transported in the back of a pick up. And
reassembled in the new shop.

Good luck.

Perhaps, but only if the wear is light to moderate. From the photos it
looks like the wear might be heavy, which can put a machine into the grades
of "good for rough work only" or worse.
