    Re: lifting the mill?

    What kind of mill? The table would not be my first choice.

    I normally lift from the ram. 2x4s under the ram ways.



    Or using straps, using 4 layers of cardboard to protect the straps

    Re: lifting the mill?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm trying to lift my IHCNC / Charter Oak cnc mill, it weighs like 1k pounds or maybe 1.1k at most.
    I suppose I'd have to use tow straps with the fork lift if I try to lift it from the head (similar to how I did the with the HF engine hoist. It left me a little uneasy.
