Auction ends in 90 minutes..the Unisaw has been on my mind.

Issue is transportation (220 miles each way):
Costs:

About $300 to buy a trailer hitch w/installation
$140 for a 5'by9' trailer with a ramp (U-Haul, 1-way rental)
$150 to load (estimate was provided)
$100+ for gas

which comes to $690 not including any costs to unload.

This is discouraging from placing the next bid for the saw--
$850 which is essentially $1000 including buyers fee and sales tax.

It may be better to wait for one a little closer to home, or even buy
something new--but I learned A GREAT DEAL mulling over this!!! Thank
you folks! You still have time to talk me out of/into it! LOL

Bill

do you know anyone with a pickup truck that would help you out? you can rent
a box truck for 50 from uhaul for the day.

My neighbor, who has a pickup, would be willing to drive me across
town, but I wouldn't ask him to spend a whole day driving out of state
with me. Not only that, using a pick up may require taking apart the saw
(which Swingman, smartly I think, discouraged).

For those that are interested: Final auction price on the 1999 Unisaw
(36-816), with unifence and overhead guard and fold-down outfeed table,
located in Mid-Ohio, was $1135 + 10% = $1249, plus sales tax of course.

the pickup may already have a hitch, saving you the $300, although if you
installed it on your vehicle, then your wife could buy that piano that she's

Yes, it does. But I am not willing to drive another man's truck 500
miles. None of the car rental companies are willing to rent a vehicle I
could use for towing. This Unisaw was going to cost north of $2000
after expenses, plus time and effort, and with possible risk during
transport, and no warranty. For $2750 Amazon will deliver a new one to
your door. At least, that was the deal until about 3 weeks ago. Current
3rd party seller wants $3299.

I really did learn alot through this process that will ready me the next
time around. It was actually "over-stimulating". Like I said, next time
I will be ALOT more prepared.

Thanks for reminding me about that Leon. I WAS able to locate 22' lift
gate trucks (Penske), but they were not available for "one-way" rental.
The rental price was some nominal amout + .79cents/mile. Of course, at
almost 500 miles, the latter, along with gas, might be significant. As
you may have read, Swingman described your efforts at moving a saw on a
mobile base using a lift gate truck as practically effortless! One thing
is certain, next time I see a saw, I will not have to search for the
answer to the question, as I have done more than once before, "HOW can I
move that saw by tomorrow?"!

For the saw auctioned today, I wasn't even sure how I was going to get
it onto the liftgate by myself so I was tentatively chose the plan which
left me with a trailer hitch.

By the way, Swingman's words weren't wasted on me--mobile bases wouldn't
ship for 5 days--and that was too vague for my purposes now.

Yikes! They've gone up! I paid $1600 for my 36-L31X-BC50 two years ago, from
Amazon. I'm looking for a bandsaw now, but I'm not in a hurry.

Damn Bill, you did not tell them you were coming did you? LOL

t might be cheaper for you to fly to Houston, rent the PV rental truck
and go from here, deliver the saw to your home and fly the PZ rental
people up to your house to return their truck! IIRC I had to pay 15~25
cents per mile, still high but 79 cents per mile is robbery!

One person can load a Unisaw, on a mobile base, easily with a pickup
truck equipped with a Tommylift tail gate.

For a box truck, where the bed is much higher off the ground, two are
ideal ... one to push the lift gate button, and one to steady the
extension table (which is hanging off the lift) for the longer trip up.

Neither person has to lift anything.

By the way, Swingman's words weren't wasted on me--mobile bases wouldn't

A mobile base is almost a necessity for most of us with a cabinet saw,
unless your shop is so big that you'll only move it once/in.

The difference in price may reflect a business versus a non-business
rental. Of course, I am in the later category.
The trucks with lift gates are owned by the local units--at least at
Penske. For just driving a truck back and forth across, 79 cents a mile
is reasonable enough. Clearly it is not as suitable for a long trip.
Next time I ask I will appear more shocked when I am quoted a .79 mile
rate, and I'll tell 'em Leon sent me! : )

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks for mentioning that part of the process. I had wondered about it.
In a pinch, I could probably find someone to push the button for me!
