    I was told to block the motor before flipping the saw over or trucking it around. Apparently the weight of the motor bouncing around can crack the trunnion. I shoved some shipping styrofoam from something else in there and turned the crank until the motor was against it. The motor was blocked that way when I received it new, so made sense to me.

    Easiest way = hire someone.

    Cheapest and best way to do it yourself = +1 on the upside down way. This is how I moved mine the first time. Second time I rented a trailer with ramp and my 60 year old dad and I carried all 350 pounds of it up onto and off of the ramp.

    Definitely take outfeed and side tables and rails off. Takes more time but definitely prevents bad things happening to them.
    I'm a Joe of all trades. It's a first, it'll catch on.
