    They probably have a set of chains to lift and load it for you as well, not to mention a crow bar to nudge it into place. Definitely an Abom sized gauge block though

    That's been for sale for 6 months or more. I would love to have it but it's a bit hard to shift.

    At least you wouldn't have to worry about someone wanting to steal it!!!!
    Just under that add is an ad for a Churchill Surface Grinder, looks to be a nice little unit???
    https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/west...der/1167952051 Price is negotiable??
    Looks to come with a magnetic chuck also, a little on the big side for me 1800 X 800

    I was more taken by the extra TLC they were expending on it, going the extra mile to protect its surfaces, etc. They even referred to it being usable as a gauge block, I must say that the job of separating a similar sized "gauge block" which had been wrung onto this one could cause a few headaches. I won't be surprised if it ends up as land fill, after the way it has been looked after.

    I estimate between 4.5 and 5 tonnes. I think it would be a crane truck effort, or perhaps Franna and crane.
