Well i want upgrade to the Powermatic 3520b and all set to put the order in BUT.
The machine weight is just a bit over 600 lbs assembled and once off the truck it has to make it down 4 concret steps and make a 90 deg. turn and thru a opening 30" wide go another 25 ft. then up 1 step and then 16 ft. more to its place of use.
This cannot be done assembled , so i was thinking about removing the headstock, tailstock. banjo and the legs to move it.
So my question is: Would this be a good idea since the lathe was factory assembled and setup and has anyone with this lathe or the next model up had this problem and how did you handle it.:confused: :confused: :confused:
