Blue side up? huh... you mean the big gantry goes on the bottom? It did seem odd having to keep the plywood pressed in place until the vacs would hold it up. :-)

Remember blue side up, vacuum down, Got it.
Thanks everyone

I made it. Kept Blue side up even. Went smooth, the table has 4 harbor freight trailer jacks on it, crank up and go. 1607.5 miles round trip. Going to take my time cleaning setting up, and etc.. just want to make sure it is all ready when I turn on the power.
Thanks everyone,
Gerald Wilson

Gerald,

A TRUE botter would have been cutting on the trip back. I'm dissapointed you didn't let someone else drive while you loaded up some files and got some work done during your down time. :-)

I'm sure you wanted to!

Enjoy and let us know how it goes.

LOL - Watch those potholes! I can picture some of you guys out on the trailer while rolling down the highway. "Gotta...load...file.."

Keep the "Search Forum" link handy, Gerald. Many of the questions you'll have are already answered right here.

Good luck.

Gerald,
Make sure you replace the bearings in the trailer jack wheels before making another trip like that.

Geez, I bet they were really whizzing around! Good idea to avoid chuck holes and speed bumps too...

GOOD LUCK with your new toy!

Thank everyone, I thought about letting others drive but it would have upset me more if there where problems and my bot did not make it home. So for everyones safety I drove. Looking forward to my first cut.
