I'm getting to the age (55 this month) that lifting a 10" rotary table and the 10" chuck up on the mill table is getting harder and harder everytime. After much searching, looking and even more procrastinating I started a jib crane to do the lifting. I made a mounting pad to go on the Franken-Mill and bought a Harbor Freight pickup truck bed crane and will modify it to work. the RT weighs about 135# and the chuck is another 75#, this jib should be more than adequate for what I need. There are still details to work out, but so far so good.
1 - the legs and anchor studs
2 - the mounting plate
3 - legs in place
4 - mounting plate welded to the legs
