Hi All
I apologize in advance for all the extra info.
Next month I am biting the bullet on a mill upgrade. I've been using a Little Machine Shop micro mill that comes in around 110 pounds. I am going to upgrade to my "final" mill. For a while I was considering the PM-727 or the higher quality 728. However, my end-all-mill needs to be beefier than those mills. I would love to get a PM-835 but I don't have the headroom for it. I believe I am settling on the Grizzly G0678 smaller knee mill. It looks like a nice beefy mill for my needs.
However, it's just under 1000 pounds. The mill will be going into my basement. It's not an easy access basement as the back basement door into my little shop is on a lower level than the driveway. I would have to go down 8 pressure treated wooden stairs to get there, onto dirt. Inside via the kitchen/basement door is out of the question. So I am curious, can this G0678 mill be easily disassembled/re-assembled? If so, what would you guesstimate the heaviest component weight to be?
