Record BS300 Bandsaw Help!!!

[Sapper]

Had my new Record BS300 delivered today all packed well with no damage, I managed to get the stand built this afternoon and planed to to put the saw on it tomorrow.

I'm here on my own with just the old Dutch so there's absolutely no way I'm going to able to lift the saw onto the stand! But, just got to thinking, is there any reason I couldn't bolt the two together whilst lying they're lying down then just stand the whole lot up?

Appreciate your thoughts on that, thanks.

That's how I assembled my BS350S by myself.

Maybe I'm the only ***** that didn't do it on its side... (350S as well)

Not that you'd have the table attached when doing that (it contributes a lot to the weight), but once it's assembled, make sure you don't drag the saw around by the table. The trunnion is a bit flimsy.

Thanks, much appreciated

I did mine on my own (not sensible). I'm down in PB, happy to come up and help?
pm me if interested.
Suggest you're still in trouble assembling on its side and lifting it?
