Hi,
I've just bought my first ever table saw, a Makita MLT100, and have made a quick stand for it out of some 8x2's and 4x2's. It's ready to be mounted onto the stand, but it occurred to me as I was trying to man handle the saw out of its box that it would be a right pig to try shifting this around once the two where fixed together. So I wondered if anyone has any suggestions on how to add some wheels to the frame that can be temporarily brought into play to move the saw around the workshop? The floor is a horrible tamped concrete surface with some quite large ruts that probably mean I'll have to use wheels 100mm in diameter or larger, to reduce the effort in rolling it around.
Here's a picture of the stand that I've made - I've got a picture in my mind of some kind of wheelbarrow-esque thing that can be tipped up and rolled from one end.
Anyone already got a great solution to this?
Thanks
Ste
