I'm soon going to pick up a used 8" jointer.
I don't have anyone to help me, and the owner has a bad back.
Because I'm going over several bridges, I'd rather not rent a flatbed trailer, plus I'm not sure a rolling base would ever make it up the ramp. So, I'm hoping I can just take it apart (I'd want to refurb it, anyway) and load it into my capped pickup truck.
Both tables, the fence, and I guess the motor.
But will be able to manage those by myself?
Does anyone know the approximate weight of these pieces, on an "average" Taiwanese 8" jointer?
It's a dovetail unit, seemingly a Delta clone, & has a 72" bed.
thx.
