Hi Everyone,
A little while ago I put in a bid in for an old Magnabend at a silent auction. I noticed there was a 330x1000 metal lathe going as well which I put in a cheeky lowball bid in. Well it turns out I won the Magnabend as well as the lathe and now I have to shift it. I apologise for the poor quality photos.

I have done a bit of a search but I had a few more questions.
I'm guessing it is somewhere in the 600-700kg range which is twice as heavy as anything I have shifted in the past. After doing some research it would seem a lot of these styles of lathes came with a lifting plate that mounted in between the ways. If this lathe originally came with one it is long gone. I cant place a sling around the bed as it would crush the leadscrew, can I place put a sling through the webbing?
Can I separate the lathe from the stand or am I better off keeping it all as one unit?
I have the Hafco 1T Engine crane at home, do you think this will be suitable for the lift? I will need to either have the legs straddle it lengthways with the headstock closest to the crane or put it on blocks first so I can get the legs under it and have the lathe going across the cranes legs.
Thanks for your help
