I went on vacation to Mexico, but now i need to move it down into my basement. Its about 7 steps and it fits through the door nicely, buttttt its 1300 lbs and me and my dad can barely move it together. Any tips or ideas to get it down a flight of stairs without killing people?!

Pics to come!

yeah but you don't have to lift it to program it, do you? lol

when you say program does that mean, parameters for designs or actual software programming?

Hahaha i use those forearm things before, they are absolute JUNK 100%, you will hurt yourself quick if you are inexperienced in moving.

Buttt I got a Tri Power from www.shoptask.com I have a whole big writeup i need to post on cnczone about that company... its kind of nasty.

I think I found some body builder guy and his four employees to help me lift it downstairs so i might be good, but im still looking for something a little better and safer!

I would get some rails, or rollers, if you have a bulkhead (outside door) for the basement, put the rollers down the stairs, and use a winch or come-a-long to lower it down, tie it to a tree or something. dont know what the environment is like there
