Take the fence and rails off. Remove the top with wings attached. Remove
the motor. Two people can handle the parts. Watch out for shims or spacers
under the bolts holding the top to the cabinet (if there, they need to go
back in the same places).

Go to the powermatic web site and download the manual. This will show you
what you are in for. If it is well aligned now; you can move it and be back
in business the same day. You will need proper tools to align it (straight
edge and TS-Aligner Jr).

I just bought a used 5HP single phase PM66. My problem is that it is
currently located in the shop where I bought it. From what I have found
on Ebay it looks like they weigh between 500 and 600 pounds. I have no
shortage of bodies to lift and I think I have access to a 1 ton truck,
but how do you move it. I don't think I can physically fit enough
bodies around it to drop the weight per person to under 100 pounds thus
very hard to lift 3 feet up to the truck bed. So my thought was to try
to reduce the weight by partially disassembling it. It looks like the
extension wings should come off pretty easily, is this true? If so how
hard are they to realign. Second, can I pull the motor? Again if so how
hard is it to reinstall?
Does anyone have experience moving these buggers?
BTW SWMBO let me buy it (She actually wrote the check;-)) she wont let
me rent a lift truck as they are like $200 for the distance I need
(unless perhaps someone here has one near seattle and wants to share).
