I am about to move to my new house and I need
to move my shop (since I don't want the mover to
touch my tools)

Anyway, I need to move my Rockwell (now Delta)
contractor style table saw. I have removed the
table extensions, the fence, the fence rails,
the blade, table insert and splitter.

My question is this. The motor is on a swing
arm and is held up by tension from the drive belt.
Can I leave the motor attached (in it's normal
operating position) for the ride? I will be driving
it about 1/2 hour in a pickup truck.
I wouldn't leave it hanging there.

I don't want to ruin the bearings or otherwise hurt
the various parts, but removing the motor would be
a major nuisance since I would basically have to
re-wire the saw to do it.
As I see it, you have two choices:
1. Use a rope to support the motor. I would not expect the drive belt to
support the motor while it is in the truck.
2. It is rewire time.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.
