I hope this all works out for you. Keep us informed. Intriguing to say the
least.
Spoke to Jeff a bit ago. For transport (reducing the weight), I can remove the infeed table's top itself (6 bolts attachment), without removing the top's movable (pattern maker aspect) base. The out feed table will be easy to remove. With this weight reduction, I can load the bulk of the jointer on my smaller trailer.... parts & pieces in the back of my truck.
Jeff states, again, to bolt the base (feet) to 2X8s or 2X10s with 1/2" carriage bolts, to stabilize it on the trailer.... plus the strapping down across the legs' bases, not on the table's aspects. Lift it by the body, i.e., inside each leg and on each side of the (central) dust chute.
Seems easy enough.
Kewl! 7.5HP, though, not just 3.5 or 5...you have direct 3PH service or
enough of converter to handle it already?
I thought that it probably was direct drive from the picture but
couldn't tell for certain.
And, yeah, you definitely don't want to pick up except from the bottom;
the tables aren't handles...
Trying that will undoubtedly turn it
into nothing but scrap iron immediately.
That's totally awesome Northfield is still so responsive...makes what
happened to Delta and to somewhat lesser extent Powermatic even more
disappointing.
I'm envious...
