I have a piece approx 1100x125x42 & may have had woodworm but has been treated. If you can use it, I'll post a photo & if you want it, come & collect it for free.
The manual states - Lubricate with a 30-40 grade lubricating oil or if this is not available a good quality motor oil SAE 10W-40 is a suitable alternative.
I've started a private conversation with you
Drive belt in good condition? Do the points on the drive & live centre line up?
Other than that it may be the piece of wood. Can you try another piece?
I like Carl Holgren's retracting castor stands. There are a number of versions designed for different machinery.
As mentioned earlier, for stability, they allow the machine to stand on it's own feet whilst in use but can quickly be moved when desired.

Blister, you have misunderstood. The message was from the Robert Sorby forum not ukworkshop.
It's fairly standard to have to log in to a forum to use it's facilities rather than just read the posts.
