Boxford STS 10 30 weights

| 15 forum posts | 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. |

| 1297 forum posts 50 photos | 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. |
