wheels for Powermatic
john lucas
I took a few more photos today before removing the wheels. I used 2x8"s and glued them together and then used long screws to help secure them. I notched one the thickness of my powermatic leg and then screwed some steel onto the wood with 4" lag bolts. This small tenon and the lag bolts support the lathe, the metal strip locks the legs on when the weight of the lathe sits on the tenon.
I notched the legs in the middle so I can use a cheap hydraulic jack to lift the lathe.
I can easily move this lathe myself and I only weight 160lbs. I've even move it across gravel. The larger wheels really help. The only real downside is finding a place to store the wheels.
