I purchased a G0678 last October to replace my RF-30 mill. It is a nice machine and I am impressed with how well it functions. I moved mine into my basement by myself. My helpers were a rented pallet jack, an engine hoist, a hand truck, a rented refrigerator hand truck, a hand cranked boat winch with a snatch block and lots of ratchet straps. I took the machine almost fully Apart. I first removed the motor, I took off the head and ram as one piece. I built a wood sled from 2 x 4’s that I strapped it to and slid it down the using the winch to lower it slowly down the steps. I pulled the table and the knee, these went down stapped to the hand truck. This left the column and base, these do unbolt, both went down strapped to the refrigerator hand truck, lowered using the winch. Once all the parts were downstairs revered the process and put her back together. Take lots of photos and make notes! Label parts like the gibs so you know which one is which. It seems like a big job but take it one piece it a time and it goes fast.
