I'm meeting a fellow Creeker next week about buying his Trotec Speedy 300. This will be my first foray into the world of laser engraving and cutting.

Anyway, I was hoping to get advice on the best way to safely move this machine from his shop to my home office which is 200 miles away.

I'm planning on separating it from the base and loading them in the back of my pickup which has a covered bed. I'll use moving blankets and strap it all down so it stays put.

I guess I should take the honeycomb out of it first so it's not banging around. Maybe shrink wrap the doors closed? Is there anything else I should do to help it travel safely?

My big question involves when I get it home and have to turn it onto its side or end to fit through the doors in my house. Will this be an issue or cause problems afterward?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Joe
