We're about to have work done on our basement which will allow me to build out my workshop in its final location. Until now I've been working (roubo workbench and contractor table saw) in the garage parking space. The opening between the garage and my workspace is plenty wide to move the saw, but is ~1' higher. I thought my new saw was going to arrive significantly after the workshop was done and thus I'd just put it together in there, but I just found out the saw will arrive at a month before the earliest possible date the workshop will be ready (and realistically it may be a few months after that). Given that I need table saw access prior to that, my plan has been to go ahead and put the saw together in the current temporary workspace.
My question is: when it's finally time to move the saw to the workshop, is it going to be better to deconstruct it, move it and put it back together or can it realistically be moved up a ramp? I have access to manual winches and hauling systems - I'm not worried about the safety of winching it up a custom built ramp in to the workshop, but I am worried about whether it's possible for the saw. Maybe take off the wing and move the main saw and reattach the wing after? This move only has to happen once and I'm confident I can move the weight safely.
This is a 3HP ICS with 36" fence and ICS base.
All thoughts appreciated!
