I can measure the MkI student - I doubt it's much different. How accurate
do you want it? It's very roughly 5ft by 2ft 6in, but that's without
measuring.

Roland,

From the manual the 1800 Student has an overall footprint of 43 3/8" x
93 5/8" allowing for splash guard and cross slide handle in the depth,
and leadscrew and motor removal in the width. The leadscrew removal
adds 18" to width at the tailstock end, and the motor removal adds 13"
to the headstock end. The 25" between centres machine machine weighs
1770 lbs and the 40" machine weighs 1850 lbs. Oddly the foundation
plan doesn't differentiate between the two bed lengths.

Thanks to Charles and Andrew
Should it happen I now know it will fit in the trailer and through the door.
However it will mean a shuffle round and something will have to be evicted

:-(.

Probably a large (7' tall) old drill that Tom ID'd as a White.
There will almost certainly be more (dumbish) questions if it arrives....

oooh, handy. I've been hunting that.

Mind, it'll not cover the one the OP was on about, as it seems to be for the
Mk 1.

or, to be more accurate, Mk 1½.
