I am no where near as smart as you guys but in my experience whenever I have moved around a finely tuned machine there is always the possibility that it can get out of alignment. Same would happen if I had a nice cabinet saw on wheels and was moving it all around my shop.
I have a 510 upgrade. Every time I want to make sawdust (notice I didn't say "make anything useful"
), the machine has to be hauled across a bumpy tile floor and down a wooden ramp. At the end of the ramp, one set of legs often impacts and scrapes a concrete patio. The machine then has to be rolled along the very porous and really bumpy patio.Even after all of this "being knocked around," I have not had the machine go out of alignment on me--at least, not enough for me to have it show up in any of the dust particles I have created.
So, if you only have to roll your machine around a dedicated shop, I don't think you should worry about maintaining the alignment once you finally get it set.
