I took a look at a small devlieg jigmill a few months ago about 2.5 hours from me. Not sure if I will get the chance to own it but I have been doing some planning in case things happen to go in my favor. The model in question is a 2b-36, from what I can find the machine weighs around 13k. This is about the upper limit of what I feel comfortable towing with my truck, with trailer.
I didn't measure the floor space required but the machine didn't seem that big in person so I wasn't worried about shop space. Once I did a bit more research, it looks like this machine requires 9'Wx9'6"Lx6'9"H. How the heck would I haul this on a trailer? The machine looked like it could be split in two pieces, but when I asked the owner about that he said you don't want to get into that.
Looking for other jigmill owners that have moved their machines. What did you do?
