I called a scrap yard near me...they aren’t sure what they have but I am welcome to take a look. You are right, it is cheap...$.25 a pound for steel! Thanks for the suggestion.
My PM1236 arrived in a crate that was easy to move, but I had to lift it with straps and a come along to beams over head. Then I assembled the stand under the lathe.
I set the stand on boards so the lathe cannot fall over forward or back. I put steel casters under the board so the lathe can move. The oil needs to be drained once and replaced.
We ended up moving the lathe as shown in the manual. We put two steel bars through the holes in the base and lifted with the forklift. Worked very well.
