There have been some excellent suggestions on here. I am getting my head around it and have a much better sense of how to tackle. Very much appreciated.Roll-a-lift safe moving thingies are much better than bars or pipes. Easy to rent. You will need to fab some wood blocks to go between the top of the roll-a-lift and the column; they are designed for classic safes.
Think: strap on rentable wheels with hydraulic adjustment!

That was exactly what I was looking for. Went ahead and posted something in the CNC section as this thread was suffering some mission creep from: how do I move to - is this hardware usable. Thanks for chiming in.The good news about the CNC is that Centroid is still in business! https://www.centroidcnc.com I have a baby CNC milling machine run by Centroid's Acorn system. It works very well. Acorn is compatible with Windows 10 and communicates with the mother computer via Ethernet ... so no need to find a machine with a legacy parallel port.
I don't know if they still support their older CNC software. But a retrofit to Acorn would cost $300 for the controller. You could probably re-use all the existing motor drives, motors, etc. Give 'em a holler. They're good folks!
