After a long winter waiting to get my new to me industrial SawStop it is in!
After much hemming and howing about how the hell i would get this saw through my garden/yard over some giant stepping stones then up a 10" threshold and down three 10" stairs and the army of men and machines i would need i did it by myself.
To be honest it was very very easy. I was able to get it in my truck on a pallet laying on its side with a fork truck. I used a 8' long 2' wide LVL to slide it on the pallet out of my truck. I the. Stood the saw back upright, slid it onto a dolly. After that i shuffled a few small scraps of old plywood through my garden. I then made a ramp up the threshold and another down the threshold and into my basement. I think the whole thing took me two hours including a 1 hour round trip drive to pick up the saw and building the ramp thing.
My phone is dead at the moment so pictures will follow. Tbh the saw is old and fairly used so its far from a shop queen. Still I'm stocked as other than the little problem bellow it went together great and everything checks out great.
My question is this. How flat do the cast iron tables have to be? I am inclined to think the answer is perfectly flat but i really don't know.
So here is the problem or situation. The main table is perfectly flat. As are the side extension tables on their own. However when i put on both side extension tables and then throw a 4' level across the table length wise and then corner to corner i can see about 1/16 inch of light under the level at the blade or in the center of the table. The 1/16 tapers out either direction but not in any hurry.
So give it to me straight how bad is this?
