I bought a Shizuoka mill, and then 2 weeks later purchased a new house-- so now I face the dilemma of moving a 4k lb mill into a small 2 car garage.
The mill, with the head on, is 7'4" tall. The main structural beam over the garage door opening is 7'. So I am missing at least 6" of space needed to move the mill. Does anyone have any thoughts on cutting into a structural beam w/o hurting the structural part?
The height of the garage itself is >8', so I will not have problems using the mill, but I have to get it there first.
Unless someone brings up a way to cut through the structural beam w/o hurting anything (which would be ideal as I do have access to a forklift), I am going to have to remove the head, and put it back on in the garage, but the question for that is: how do I mount a 500lb head 6+' in the air, when the ceiling height is only 8'?
