Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

Greetings, I recently bought a FB 710 in my workshop. We inserted it with a forklift. The situation in my workshop was not like yours. So we could move easily. However, when we needed to move the machine later, we found that we could move it with the help of 2 or 3 people by placing a blanket or fabric under it. The machine is not that heavy, of course, the condition of your place is very important in this regard. Please share photos.

Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

Doug,
?
We had the same issue with my SCM s640p, which is and ACM saw.? It is just under 8 feet tall and originally I was putting it in my garage shop with a 7' tall door and 9' ceilings.? My son and I used a appliance dolly with a 45 degree support to get it off the trailer.? It still would not fit under the height of the door.? We almost killed ourselves lowering it to get under the door.? I wished I would have filmed it for comedy on YT.? We got it stood up and off the pallet it was on.? Fast forward 18 months and I had to move it into the new shop.? The new shop has an 8' door and 10' ceilings, so much easier.? But we still had to lay down the saw to get it out of the old garage shop.? We took off the table (decent removal of weight) and laid it down onto a furniture dolly with some straps to use to hold on to the spine of the saw at it went down.? I then used some triangles I made out of 2x4;s to keep it upright.? This was much easier.
?
When we got it into the shop we decided to try and brute force it upright.? My son and I are not weight lifters, I think my son is like 145 pounds.? We got it upright.? The moving straps really helped to give us some leverage.
?
Good luck!

Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

First, your 600# kamado is of interest. Is that a Komodo Kamado? A Big Bad 32" is on my shortlist.?

It's a Kamado Joe "Big Joe" - their big'n. ?I love it. ?Which reminds me, I need to get a couple chickens in there smoking on the "Joetisserie" before the rain comes later.?

Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

Ahhh, I had not considered this approach, but this is so much simpler. ?It's a new home, and I'm pretty sure I can find out from the builder if that load would be a problem distributed across two adjacent joists, or just add the temporary reinforcement and not worry about it.
?
Thank you,
Doug

It's crated lying on the spine so I can only see rotating it in that one direction.? But, I've measured the diagonal at 8'3" so it will fit beneath the joists.
That's a big saw for a basement shop!

Ha! You are correct.? I was going with the 610 but made a last minute decision, for a couple of reasons that may not hold up to intense scrutiny, to get this one.? I haven't smoked pot in decades so I'm sure I wasn't high at the time, but oh well.? It's mine now!?

I also have shorter than ideal ceilings, but i might consider breaking the law for 9'-10' ceilings. I have 7' and some change, which gives me about 1/2" of clearance for my 20" saw. For your machine, have you consider building a ramp to the pallet and then blocking the bandsaw up enough for a pallet jack to get under it? I have moved machines from pallets this way several times. Once you have it on the pallet jack, you can move it inside into place and lower it onto blocking. If you dont want it to be permanently on blocking, then you can do the reverse of slowly levering it and reducing the blocking. Alternatively, you can build your gantry outside to lift the saw off the pallet.?

Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

Hi Doug,?
All you should need is a come-a-long to stand it up. You don't need to be above it either, just go from the closest wall or something heavy you can anchor the other end to. I assume there is a lifting hook or eye on the top of the saw, or at least a hole to insert one?? And given your height restrictions, you will want to tip it front to back, not the spine to foot brake direction. I've done it before with a 510 and 610 it was pretty easy. That's a big saw for a basement shop! Enjoy it

Re: Raising an FB710 off its crate

 

Without seeing what you are working with it's hard to know for sure. But perhaps rent an engine hoist? It might work with the low overhead. Lift the machine high enough to slide the crate out then set it down.

Re: Help with moving a Felder CY731

 

Calvin –

As others here have said, very sorry for your loss.

Many of us are at that age where we have had to deal with similar.

When my brother passed on, we did a series of whole-lot sales, and made clear we were not parting out his collections.? Auction house estate sales or used equipment dealers is a way to quickly liquidate equipment.

In our case, getting closure and moving on was more important than the selling.?

Good luck with the process, and I hope there is some peace in knowing others will be putting the equipment to good use.

I would consider a machine auction company. I assume there are more than just the two machines, likely tooling, small tools, clamps, etc? ?Exfactory and MachineryMax are two such companies.?

Calvin, now that I know where you are located, I suggest you call Fergus or Liz in the Sacramento office of Felder (both are in sales) and see if Felder would have interest in taking the Felder gear on consignment. ???(916) 375-3190? ?They can probably look up the original invoice for the machine and give you specifics about it. ?

I also agree with the “you ask 10 people, you’ll get 10 different answers” sentiment. ?Decide how much work you want to do on this first. ?If you have the time to sell individual pieces, be prepared to take photos of the equipment and know some of the details for your advertising (year, condition, model numbers, accessories, power requirements, etc.). ?You will also get requests for “under power” demos. ? If you don’t want to do that level of work, I’d recommend donation to a local educational/training facility, or get an estate auction house involved. ?

@Karl - the links to the video on the slide and the details on separating the machine(s) are helpful. I hadn't realized that they could be separated.

@David Best - the HQ number is helpful. Plus one on including this in your estate plan. Hindsight being 20/20 there are questions I wish I had asked about the shop ahead of time and/or arrangements I wish we had made. Dealing with all this now makes a hard time somewhat harder.?

@Patrick Kane - the shop itself is roomy with plenty of space, but there is quite an incline once out the doors at the back. They got them in with a moving truck with a lift gate I believe. Both the combination machine and the bandsaw are on blocking. We're located in Washington state, in Paulsbo (close to Seattle).?

@John Hinman - we have a great deal of very fine furniture to share with various family members. Cant think of many other hobbies that result in such a great legacy actually.?

One last question. The shop consists of the Felder combination machine (731-03), Felder bandsaw (FB-40), a Bridgewood belt sander, a Jet dust collector, and too many misc. tools and accessories to list. I see places like world4machines to sell the individual machines. But we would quite frankly prefer for someone to come and take the whole shop. Not so much interested in getting top dollar on things as we are in having someone keep using them as they were previously used. Thoughts on any way to do that? Seems a bit commercial to just part the whole thing out a bit at a time.?

Thx,
Calvin
