A full-size milling machine of the old school will weight 1-2 tons (2000-4000 pounds, or about 1000-2000kg). Lifting, or even tipping one is nearly impossible without equipment. This, however, is a miniature bench-top milling machine, which I’ve had for several decades. It has basically all the same components as a full-size version, just smaller, and of course much lighter, maybe 500 pounds (225kg). I couldn’t lift it, but I could tip it, which allowed me to slowly build up a pedestal underneath it until it was at a convenient height.
