I’m moving from out of the state in a couple of weeks and I’m looking for advice on packing and moving my table saw. What’s the best way to pack it up so that nothing gets bent or damaged during the move? I’d like to do as little disassembly as possible. Thanks for your help! |

It’s a Delta contractor’s saw. |

1. Remove blade, fence, etc. This is the way I packed my contractor saw (500 miles in a commercial moving van) and it survived without damage. Also moved it shorter distances several times in a pickup with same procedure and results. -- Joe |

Did the same moving from OH to NC. Did not have the muscle or help to turn it upside down. So I tied it down and covered it with moving pads. Blocked it with some smaller boxed with tools, and was careful what was loaded on top of it, heavy stuff centered etc. It spent 4 months in storage with cloth movers pad on it and it is none the worse for wear. -- Berta in NC |

I think Joe has it covered but depending on room I would take the legs off, -- https://www.artisticwoodstudio.com/videos wood crafting & woodworking classes |

I moved my contractor saw from Maine to Texas, and I just took the fence, rails, and motor off, covered it with a mover’s blanket. Got here in same condition it left. |
