I may have an opportunity to purchase a Powermatic 1150 drill press for a very nice price. The issue is that I will need to pick it up and transport it about 100 miles in my F-150 pick-up truck. By the research I've done it looks like the weight is between 300 and 400 pounds and I'm sure its very top heavy as most drill presses are. I'm curious if there are any words of wisdom or advice on the best method for (a) getting the hunk of iron into my truck and (b) keeping it protected and secure during transport. I'll have the help of at least 1 other person, maybe 2.
Thanks,
Tom
