Does anyone have any experience removing the infeed and outfeed tables from a jointer having dovetail ways?
I have a G0480 10" jointer and need to move it from my garage into my basement. I've separated the jointer portion from the cast iron base and managed to get that down into my basement using a refrigerator dolly, but the table assembly is 84" long and very heavy and awkward to handle. Plus, it's down eight steps to a 43"x43" landing then a 90° left turn, down 5 more steps into the basement- it's not a straight shot where I can just slide it down.
Is it pretty straight forward to remove and reassemble the infeed/outfeed tables or is it a major no-no? I did a search on google - some say do it and some say you'll never get back together again.
They way I'm looking at is this.... I can screw up the tables by taking in down in one piece or I can screw up the tables by taking it apart.
....I'll take my chances on screwing it up by taking it apart.
I've attached a picture and an exploded view of the jointer, so if anyone has any experience or advice on this topic please reply.
By the way, this jointer design and parts list is identical to the Oliver 4240 10" jointer and the same as the G0455 except for the cutter head.
