    Moving Heavy Machines at Home



    I need to move and re-orient my Milling Machine. I have some Heavy Duty Machine Skates and some home made handles, they make short work of the move.

    I have bought, overloaded and subsequently crushed that exact set. I still have them. They just make a crunching sound now. I have some red ones, and a Hilman roller style set too. As always, get the Hilman rolllers if you can. The conventional skates have to roll on CLEAN surfaces. A tiny spec of dirt will stop them. Hilman rollers go right over crud.
