SIP Hydroptic 8 New Machine In The Shop

In this video I am unloading the SIP Hydroptic 8 Jig Bore Machine from the trailer and rigging it into the shop. This has been a very long process, locating the machine, setting up rigging in Arizona, finding a trucker to handle the oversize load, and figuring how to get a huge machine moved over a gravel surface.
I was able to rent a Taylor pneumatic tire, 50,000 pound capacity forklift to do the job. I tried every rigger I could find and none of them would help with this job so I had to do it myself.
A careful job, lifting, rigging, and sliding this machine into the barn took some time but well worth the effort. This Sip Jig Bore machine is well known as the most precise Jig Bore ever built. This SIP Hydroptic 8 has the horizontal spindle which makes it perfect for my needs.
More videos of this machine coming soon.
