I'm picking up an SC-600 bandsaw (700 LB) on friday and I need some help figuring out the best way to support the saw while in transit.
Here's what I have so far:
I'm going to place the bandsaw on it's back, on a trailer w/ the base facing my truck. I'll secure it w/ (4) 3000 LB ratchet straps. Since the top will be facing the end of the trailer, I'll be able to slide my cherry picker under the trailer and pick it up. Then move the trailer forward and lower the saw on a very heavy duty appliance dolly. My 1st thought is, will the bandsaw want to roll on its side during it's 100 mile trip? Should I build a couple of U-shaped forms out of 2x6's w/ bracing to help hold it up? Should I remove the table?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
