Mark, congratulations on your pm lathe. Take my advice and go to Harbor Freight and get the hydraulic lift used by mechanics to raise transmitions up under the car for installing. It is about 200 dollars, but money well spent. You can assemble that lathe by yourself and place it in the shop anywhere you want it. It has many other uses. you will never regret buying it. I use mine as an extra temporary work table among other things.Remember that lathe weighs between 600 and 700 lbs.You could hurt your back very easily moving it around.A word to the wise, Max.
 
Max I'll check it out,

Been there and already read everything at least once some of it twice Kurt.

1 Thing I'm not sure on yet Do they put a cord on it or do I need to buy wire too. I got the plug already.

Thanks All
