Jet JPS 10" or Laguna Fusion table saw

[barri]

I'm waiting on mine in the next container from China. Decided to cheap out, and go depot shipping only... $99 from Brisbane to Canberra!

The plan is to get four burly folk to help me lift the thing from the tray of a ute into the shed... Not really looking forward to that part of the operation.

Me too but I'm getting mine delivered with tail gate service to avoid the same concerns that you've got. Once it's in my garage I can do the rest by myself. Let's hope the ships travel fast.

Recently acquired a Laguna Dovetail Cabinet Saw, and went through the pick up and deliver exercise. Fortunately my next door neighbour has a tailgate lift on his landcruiser. Moving it out of the shed where I picked it up from and into my shed was achieved using a couple of motorbike fork tubes and some blocking in the pallet sides (it was on the original plywood pallet), took two guys to tip it far enough to get the tube under it, and then fed the second tube in as it was rolled across the floor. In hindsight high pressure PVC waterpipe would have done the job, but I had the tubes laying around (and they were slightly bent). Using rollers meant that there was no gut busting involved. You could also use 38mm dowels if you don't have metal tubing or access to thick walled pvc pipe. For the record, the packing was stamped as being 265kg in weight (without side tables, fence, cover etcetera).

I'm not sure you're talking about the Harvey or Laguna but in either case their 15 amp models and I'm only after 10 amps

It it will only draw 10+A on startup. It will work fine on a regular 20A circuit.

I can attest that the 3hp Laguna will run quite happily in a standard circuit, I swapped an end on an extension lead to be able to play while waiting on the sparky. The 16A circuit breaker doesn't throw out with the saw and the 2hp dust collector running on the same circuit, I just don't swicth them on simultaneously
