    When I needed to move my 3,500 lb lathe this is the truck and forklift that was used. It was very easy to the point that it was a drama-less event.

    Another way is to counter-bore the jaw material for rare earth magnets and glue them into the c-bores. Epoxy or CA can be used. I like CA because it’s quick.
