Advice for moving Table Saw

What kind of saw do you have, cabinet, contractor and what brand ?

It’s a Delta contractor’s saw.

1. Remove blade, fence, etc.
2. Remove Belt
3. Put furniture pad on floor of vehicle/truck/trailer
4. Place saw on pad, upside down – i.e. resting on table, legs up.
5. Block motor so it can’t flop around
6. Make sure arbor height and angle lock screws are tight.

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.

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.

I think Joe has it covered but depending on room I would take the legs off,

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.
