    Lifting Bar Size?

    I finally uncrated and moved my new Series III home after months of storage, and an getting ready to lift it and move it into place.

    Should have bought the lifting bar (but didn't) and as I'm the UK it's a bit late to order one now, so I need to make one up in my workshop.

    So..does anyone have the centre distances handy that they could share please? Obviously I need the the 2 outer hole centre distances and the distance from one of them to the centre lifting point hole.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Never mind, I've worked it out and made it together with the tee-nut for the table eyebolt.
    I reckon you must have all gone fishing

    I bought one from HF for about $30 but never used it in moving the mill... However, It did come in handy when moving my router.

    I used the one from HF. Works perfectly for 1/3 the price, AND is adjustable so you may actually use it again.
