It's here!!! My unisaw is here! The guy was in a hurry, wants to let go of the shop by the weekend. Good thing he had a van and didn't even need persuading to help deliver it!
Looks a bit dusty, but otherwise came over without any great hitch.
For all my search for a mobile base, I found one on CL yesterday! The shop-fox others have recommended here (from Grizzly and Woodcraft and other places). I tell you, CL seems to be a sentient being, knowing what I want when I want it! Not bad for $40, I think.
Anyway, I assembled the base last night for 20" square, but had to change it to 21" this morning while the helpers were waiting to place the unisaw on it. The seller's son (a body builder) and his buddy could lift the saw up pretty much all by themselves; we needed to help only to-and-from the van
!
But now the saw sits nice right in the middle of the garage waiting to be inaugurated. My electrician made me promise I won't turn it on till he's here to take a look at it and see everything's okay, so shall call him this evening.
Am now rushing back to work (sneaked out for this
).
And while picking the saw up, also picked up a large stash of laminates from the seller : he was about to put a huge load into the dumpster. I got whatever I could manage. Some regular, some with extraordinary grains/swirls on them. The last I was at Constantine, I had balked at the cost! Didn't have time to snap all of it, just a sample:
All in all, a good days work. Now if I can avoid getting fired for playing hooky...
