Hi All,
Today I received one of the clearance Unisaw's from Amazon and asked the delivery guy if he could help me bring the box to my basement storm doors. He was really amicable and said, "Sure." I ran down to the basement to grab some plywood because we were going to be crossing about 20ft of grassy yard. As I'm coming out of the storm doors I see the saw falling over off his dolly. The saw landed on its back side.
We ended up lifting it back up on the dolly and getting it to the door without any further mishaps. On my initial inspection all looks fine. I took the top off to ease the trip down -- I had two neighbors help me carry it down and it was a cinch. I wish greatly that I had simply had the delivery guy set the saw down off the lift gate and waited til my neighbors got off work. Grrr.
I haven't run the saw yet -- had inlaws come this evening for an overnight visit. Aside from looking for obvious damage, and doing some test cuts, any other advice on assessing if the tumble did any significant damage?
Thanks for your help,
Gil
p.s. the delivery guy was so apologetic, I ended up giving him $10 that I had put in my pocket if he agreed to bring the saw all the way to the basement entrance -- so I ended up literally tipping for a tip
