37-380 In-feed table removal

Hi, I’m picking one of these jointers up on Saturday and need to move it down a flight of stairs into my basement. I know enough to take the unit of the base but @ 400 plus pounds I don’t think that it will reduce the weight to the point where it will be very manageable.

My question is how easy would it be to take the in-feed table off and then reinstall it? I know it rides in a couple of dovetail tracks with a adjustable gib.

Thanks for any information

I just took the table off of my Delta X5 6" jointer to make some repairs. It really wasn't that much work. I simply removed a few bolts, unbolt the connectors for the handle and it slid right off.
