Firstly just a quick hello - I've been lurking around these forums for a while and have finally registered and posted!
After considering retiring my Aldi table saw that got me back into woodwork (mostly furniture), I've found a good deal on a Startrite TA275 that needs some TLC.
I've read that you can take the table off the Startrite saws relatively easily and then they become "easy" (easier?) to handle and that you can then fit them in an estate car.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Is this really a viable option? Do you have to be Hercules to achieve this? I would have to drive 100 miles with it in the car - am I mad to even contemplate this?
Alternatively I could hire a van with a tail lift, but then I may have to take the table apart to get it up the 5 inch step into my workshop anyway!
Any thoughts, comments or personal experience would be gratefully received!
