Tying down a lathe
I would transport the lathe in my trailer. It is 13x36, about 1,500
lbs. The lathe will be on cart, which I could raise and put on blocks so that the wheels are not engaged. The question is how to tie the lathe down. The tailstock end, I think, is straightforward as I would put the tiedown to pull the tailstock. The headstock is where I have a question. Can I use a ratchet tiedown to pull on the headstock (around the corner between bed and headstock, specifically) or would the headstock be damaged by that pulling action? -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.
