Re: Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories
I watched a machine demo at a woodworking show so I gained a lot of general knowledge from that. I have watched the videos on their web page (you-tube) as well. I do have the manual that has the projects to show what it will do and have made several of the hammer head walking sticks for presents that were a big hit. I have made a simple indexing rotary table to make bases for candle sticks. I could show how to do that here. You can use the index wheels that you currently have to make wooden ones that you then mount on plywood that is attached to the rails. It costs almost nothing and isn't that hard to make. You are limited in size since the wheel you can make will have to fit between the rails.

It sounds like you got your self a good deal. did you get any teaching materials, like videos or paperwork with your new mill? There is a small learning curve when it comes to useing the O.R Mill. but its not that hard to figure out.

Re: Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories
I have used yellow freight to ship cabinets from missouri to california it was $220 for 2- 3 x 7 x 2 1/2ft boxes.I thought it was cheap. If you sign up for an act. with yellow or jtl you get a 55% discount. beaver express is another shipping company we use they don't go to every state but they have other truck lines that they can transfer to.

Re: Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories
Driving to work today, a sign on the back of a truck caught my eye. It said Uship http://www.uship.com/ . It looks like people bid on shipping rates which might make moving a larger machine cheaper than going with a trucking company. Another phrase that might be worth looking into is LTL freight. LTL stands for less than Truckload. You basically share space with other people. There has to be a member who knows something! -Tim - Original Message - From: mwfos...@earthlink.net To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 12:29 PM Subject: Re: Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories I regret that this new link somehow got associated with the monster up for auction - that's why I initiated the new topic.

I saw a machine on ebay that had a shipping calculator. To ship a 1200 it
was a little over $500. I have no idea if the owner has to build a pallet and
get the machine to a terminal for that price. I don't think shipping companies
would actually wrap something for you. Then of course there is the issue of
having a forklift to receive the machine. I do know that I've picked up large
machines at the freight terminals since I did not have a loading dock or
forklift where the machine was ultimately going. Apparently beer and pizza was
not enough to coax friends into lifting 3000 lbs either. Go figure :-). At
the terminal the company loaded the machine on my flatbed with no complaints.

Hello All,
Does someone really want a 2000 or 2200 or just the parts? When the 2000

and the z-axis. In fact these machines have about 3k in rails on them. In

to be very pricey to ship. Getting the machjine for a few hundred, might make
it possible to fly in, rent a uhaul, strip off the rails and parts useable on
reasonable OM's, and drive them home. In advance, I'd line up a
salvage/recycle company and rent a machine to cut the 2000 into manageable
chunks and get whatever I could locally. Still, I think the machine would have
to be only so far away from home, and I'd have to be certain that I could sell
rail at $25 a foot, plus shipping to the new owner. Again, that's the killer.
I don't know a way around it.

Re: Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories
I agree, shipping has been the biggest stumbling block to moving the machines. I don't know how to accomplish the task but I believe Gary is completely right about hiring a rigging company to load a machine that size. It's a common practice in the industrial world. The auction company may have names but the certaintly won't lift a finger to move the thing!

Shipping a LOM and/or Heavy accessories
Does anyone have experience with a shipping service/freight company and their shipping a LOM long distance (half way across the USA)? If one were to buy a LOM from someone half way across the USA, who would you recommend they use to ship it? (Or conversely, if you were to be the seller, what shipping/freight companies have LOM User Group members used or would recommend based on shipping other big/heavy items?) What company did you use? Did you compare several before selecting them? I think with a number of folks in the group selling & buying LOMs and their accessories, we should share info as regards the best way to ship them; as well as companies/methods to perhaps avoid. Any input would be useful to all - I'm sure.
