Hi all - I pulled the trigger and bought the Steel City granite table saw yesterday. It was delivered early this morning and is currently sitting in my garage until Saturday, when I'll have a few friends over and we can move this into the basement. I plan on a pizza, wings & beer bribe. :D
Here are pictures of the four boxes I took shortly after it arrived:
85042 85043
85044 85045 85046
As you can see, it seems to be pretty well packed. Now, should I remove the saw from the steel crate and move it down the stairs, or shoud I leave it in? I'm not sure how much the steel weighs, but it doesn't look light. There are two other boxes shrink wrapped in with the saw, also - the granite extension wing is in one box, and I think the hand wheels & miter gauge are in the other. I would think removing the saw would lighten the load by 100 lbs. but I think there would be greater risk in damaging the saw. So what does everyone think? Leave it in, or take it out? :confused:
Thanks again for everyone's help. I'm so glad I found this site :)
Oh, one more thing - I think I might keep this crate and the associated boxes up in the garage attic, so that if I move, then I can pack it up and have someone else bring it up from the basement, and not worry about damage.
