Thanks for the recommendation. I just got home, getting a bite to eat and then it's off to inspect/unload!!!
Not sure it met OSHA reqs but it's in the shed. Before it got to it's resting place there was a lot of nail biting going on. First of all our gantry crane wasn't high enough to lift the saw. Plan B was to use a bobcat but there was not enough fork length or hight to reach. Plan C... use a chain hoist attached to a 14"X2.5" glue lam. Chain hoist lifted it but one corner of the saw was still sitting heavy so we added a cable ratchet and got it high enough to drive out from under it.
Once it was off the truck we used the forks on my Ford 1720 tractor to assist the lowering. Probably overkill but we were just being super cautious. Next was the issue of getting a 89"+ tall saw in a short 87" garage door. My neighbor volunteered a bobcat but I didn't have a "warm and fuzzy" that we could tilt it without tearing something up. So... why not remove part of the wall, remove a section of the 8" PVC dust collection pipe and pallet jack it in. Yep, about five minutes into that plan I was wishing I had used screws on that section of wall and thankful I had not glued the PVC.
Once I had it in, I replaced the treated paneling with screws! Just in case I ever need to get another behemoth in:gar-La;
Once I had it sitting in the permanent location, I removed the wheels, checked and cleaned the bearings, inspected the belts, greased the upper guide grease fitting and removed and inspected the brake mechanism. The brake shoe is completely worn so I adjusted it to where it can't touch the wheel until I find a replacement or have something fabricated. Speaking of wheels... those things are HEAVY and the rubber tires are at least 1/4" thick.
Fence
Bottom of 36" cast table
Even the dust chute is cast!
I'll get some more pictures of it setting in it's place ASAP.
