I've got a PK which only has a rip fence. It doesn't get a great deal of use, just occasional ripping of large boards. Given the space it takes up and the hassle of moving it around (which I'm going to have to do soon for some building work), I'm wondering whether or not to actually keep it...

I think the scaffolding poles should suffice for these machines, only need to get them a few yards on flat concrete to other side of the shed while I'm doing some building work on one side.

Yeah, the Cooksley's going to be around the same weight as the PK - bloody heavy! So maybe stick with scaffolding poles as & when it needs moving (which doesn't need to be often)

There are holes in the corners of the base of both machines which could be used. Not sure if the vibration from the planer would be excessive for castors though

Thanks all. I like the idea of castors, for ease of movement, my space isn't massive.

Many thanks for the advice, I'll give that a go after investing in one of those bars (and the steel toe capped boots!)...

I have a Wadkin PK tablesaw and an 18" Cooksely planer thicknesser which the previous owner of my house sold to me. They've not been moved from their current location, but I now need to shift them, just to the other side of the shed, which has a concrete floor. Can anyone advise on the best way...
