Home at last! Finally got the Sanford MG moved to my basement (picture below). I gave up on the two guys who said they would help me (but it was always "next week"), and moved it myself (in pieces). It really wasn't that much work to take it apart and move the pieces with the help of a shop crane and dollys.

Should be able to do my first test grind shortly. I'm taking some advice I read elsewhere and leaving the table and mag chuck as I found them for now; I'll grind them in one I have a feel for how the machine operates (and I get some new grinding wheels). In the meanwhile, I'll just grind some test pieces that don't matter until I'm comfortable with the grinder.
