Mike Pio asks:
How tough do you think it would be to lift the saw onto a mobile base
after
it's assembled? I've never needed to move my current saw around the shop
at
all, but I may consider a mobile base for this saw just in case. Do you
think it could be moved out of alignment while being lifted onto a base?
Not likely. Do NOT lift by the fence rails, even with the Biese.
My gosh, if a person is so anal rententive that they fear tilting one corner
of a 500 pound saw with TWO heavy duty 3" angle iron rails might damage it
or knock out of adjustment but a couple of millionths of an inch, pehaps you
should hire a 6 man moving crew with a crane, just in case...
Actually, these days I do as much of my heavy lifting as possible with a shop
(engine) crane. Strikes me that I already spent too many years proving I was
something I didn't particularly want to be for people whose opinion I didn't
particularly value. Now, I do it the easiest way possible and use the dumbbells
for exercise, rather than conversation.
