Any guesstimate on what it weighs in at?

That's a beast Tony. It's been a long time since I've run a lathe that big and there's a lot you can do with that kind of HP. I had the privilege of running a 19" Regal once and it cut steel like butter. I'd like to see some video once it's up and running. Popcorn

Ed, I believe it is a 2 TPI leadscrew.

HP, book weight is ~5500 lbs (2200 KG)

Yeah Tom, no substitute for power. I'll try to get some chips popping off it when I get it under power. I have to experiment a little with making a video. Ironic. Part of my living is from video surveillance systems and security, but I don't own a standard video camera. I have a dozen security cameras on hand at any given time, but never gave any thought to making a recording of anything other than monitoring the designated areas of a customers facility.

If anyone has time to be bored, and is interested, here is a link to the loadout pictures, about 75 or so. Some are near duplicates, as the camera operator was snapping away as though she expected disaster to strike. Please ignore anything offensive or improper that may appear here.

You weren't kidding about her taking a boat load of pictures. It looks like that trailer was maxed out to its weight capacity.

It's probably the heaviest thing on it.....yet. There is a radial drill I am eyeballing at that shop too. It pulled well, even with a tired old 305 though. Trailer is all steel, and well built. Made for car hauling, I suspect it really wasn't overloaded. Much...
