Linky
A quick scan says 365lb but you may want to read it more thoroughly!
I would have said it'd go in the back of a golf no probs obviously with the seats down, do they have oil anywhere in them?? (Thinking ahead!)
Cheers

Don't under-estimate the weight of the base... The cabinet/stand weighs half as much as the lathe itself!
The lathe itself is an awkward, lop-sided and heavy lump, guaranteed to wreck your back as you put it into the boot - so it's a minimum 2-person
lift for safety's sake.
It may be simpler to split the 2 parts (lathe from its base) for transportation, but there's likely to be wiring between the control switch and
the lathe motor.
Personally - I'd hire a medium-sized van and strap it in as 1 lump, upright.
It's a good and useful small lathe, when used within its limitations. There are also lots of books that will tell you how to make useful
accessories for it, and there are loads of gadgets available for it.
Read that instruction manual posted above - the lathe has to be mounted on the cabinet with some care, otherwise you can warp the bed and you'll
never get good results. It's not a hard job, but should be done properly.

The lathe and base weigh about 2 man hernias.
Manual says 365 lb for the Lathe and cabinet stand. 245 lb without cabinet (both with motor.
I have mine on casters but is still blooming heavy to move about.
I would say you need two strong blokes if you are going to move it in a car. I used a transit with a tail lift when I moved mine recently.

Mike

Its the bloody p100 that's still in a hundred bits.
I may get the tranny to come down with as Ive got some work to do in Bradford on Sat...
But im alone in the golf and im sure we will get it in.
Think its already in several bits so we can shift it.
as for setting up the bed we did the ml7 like that so we are aware of the runout issues with a twisted bed. Thanks David for reminding me
....... several hours will be spent sorting that....
