Boxford STS 10 30 weights

[PutneyChapParticipant @putneychap]

Getting one of these on a cabinet. Anyone got the weights? – preferably with the cabinet separated. I am going to take the tailstock off – and, may wind the carriage off as well, plus take the motor off. Hoping that will bring it down to 200kg – which is manageable for me. – its the long bed model – but if anyone has the standard bed weight – that would be good – there won't be too much difference.

Think they are about 400kg all up so you may not get it down to 200Kg

As Jason says, somewhere between 350 and 400kg, depending if yours is the 750mm b/c model, or 1,000mm.

And if you split the lathe and cabinet, be warned the lathe becomes incredibly top heavy, and if lifted will try and flip itself over.

I have had three X10 series Boxfords, currently a 330, and the way I move them is to keep them in one piece, and put them on four heavy duty castors.

I can push one around single handed on a concrete floor when it is on castors.
