My Hammer K3 Winner 79x48 arrived yesterday. The 890 pound crate arrived with no problems, although it was a little harrowing watching it being lowered down on the lift gate. Rolling it up my driveway and into the garage took some muscle, but we got it. Everything appears to have made the trip without taking any damage; just like with my A3-31, they really know how to pack these things.

I removed some of the wrapping last night and carried all of the "loose" pieces down into my shop. One piece is left inside the main saw cabinet; I believe that's the smaller miter fence, as I didn't notice that in the stuff I already carried. I will dig that out today.
Because this unit has the outrigger support already installed (facing camera in picture, just above paper with numbers on it), the saw cabinet itself is wider than my basement entry door (which is at the bottom of a set of steep bilco stairs). That means I'm going to be looking at removing that door temporarily. Even without the outrigger support it would be really tight, so that door would probably have been coming off anyway. The pallet itself is also way too wide, so I either need to cut that down smaller or transfer the cabinet to another pallet or piece of plywood.
My dad is going to be coming over today to take a look, and we're going to come up with a plan for sliding this down the stairs on a ramp, as well as looking into removing the door. With the steepness of the ramp and the need to flatten out at the bottom, I am a little worried that the ends of the sliding table might contact the ramp. But I should be able to figure out the risk of that using a little trigonometry.
Anyway, I'm excited and can't wait to get this thing into my shop, which should hopefully happen in just over a week given availability of people that will be involved.
