I fit a Shopsmith plus jigsaw in my mini cooper the other day with only one half of the split back seat folded down. It was a tight fit, but it worked. Legs were already off, but i removed the bench tubes as well. granted, it was a 500, not a 520.JPG40504 wrote:FWIW, the tubes are 52" and 52 3/4" long by them selves. With the end castings attrached and the legs removed, the combination is less than 6'. Barely over 5'!
Mark's procedure is good since it breaks it down into reasonably sized(weight also) assemblies.
Consider: he removes 4 setscrews(way tubes), loosens 4 bolts(bench tubes).
That's IT!
Not the way I hauled one(I merely removed the legs), but then I had to remove 10 screws/nuts!
And his pieces were smaller/lighter!
I think I could put his pieces in my festiva!
Then again, I fit a 520 plus bandsaw, beltsander, router table, and jointer in my mitubishi lancer. Had to make a second trip for the dc 3300 though.
scroll saw on stand fits in the back of a mini no-problem.
