Model Forum / General / Models / September 2007Approximate weight of ML7
Does anyone know the approximate weight of an ML7 lathe? I can't seem to find it listed on the Myford website. I'd like to calibrate my impression of how difficult a piece of machinery is to move to its weight! Alan > Does anyone know the approximate weight of an ML7 lathe?

Alternatively, an ML7 is a reasonable lift with the motor removed and with Her Indoors lifting the tailstock end and the owner lifting the other end. Possibly heresy, but the Myford fixed steady makes a good approximation to an eyebolt for lifting with a crane or engine hoist (must be positioned at the point of balance, use the carriage for trimming). DAMHIKT If there is no assistance available, strip it down. The tailstock, carriage, countershaft and headstock aren't all that difficult to strip off and will result in a collection of bits that are, individually, an easy lift for anyone without severe arthritis/back problems.

With quick change box, add 16 Lb. With Tri Leva, add 11 Lb. Steve R.

Thanks very much for this information; it's exactly what I was looking for, Alan > [cut original question] >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Alan You are welcome! Steve R.
