It weighs a ton, literally, and he was more than happy to help, I offered him payment for his services but he refused and said "thats what neighbours are for" (I also buy my granite from him if I need it on a job, so I guess that helped)

Had a spare 7 inch 3 jaw chuck for the lathe so I made an adaptor plate for the rotary table and machined a centering bar on the lathe:
