I’ve recently changed by Warco 180 lathe for a Warco 250V lathe. If anyone else is thinking of buying one, they may be curious as to how it arrived and how I got it on the stand. I’ll add the usual disclaimer that this worked for me, but is not necessarily best practice. I’ll be leaving levelling as problem for a different day.

They do present a bit of a challenge dont they?

I had the same issue when I received my machine from SPG…..the 2129…..

Great bit of kit…

Nice video! Your choice of lifting slings though is pretty poor, mine are bright lime green and didn't clash with the colour of my Warco VMC when I moved it! Purple, really!

'time to bring out the wife'.

She looks very fetching in green but a trifle 'angular'!

I had mine delivered to work, where they unloaded it with the forklift.

I then broke the crate down, and removed the compound slide, tailstock, splashguard; basically as much stuff as possible. Two of us then put it in the boot of my estate car.

A different two of us unloaded it at home, carried it across the road and then slid it down the cellar steps on a plank. We did use a strop to steady it.

Then we picked it back up, carried it through the cellar and placed it on the bench where it lives.

It's perfectly doable like this, but it would have been easier 15years ago when I worked in a warehouse, and carried heavy stuff around all day.
