The 16″ jointer/planer I ordered arrived today. At 572 pounds (660 pounds as shown) it is the heaviest thing that will reside in our new house. I am still contemplating the best approach to getting it from the carport where it now sits into my shop. The motorized pallet jack that brought it down the driveway is only good on hard surfaces and would have sunk in the rain-soaked clay soil had we tried to get any closer to the house. I will probably uncrate it and disassemble it into lighter components (motor, beds, cutter head, fence). The extra work will be worth the riskier challenge of moving such a heavy object. You can count on a blog post once it reaches its final resting place.
