father in law has a craftsman radial arm saw he is giving me. Do they
make a caster wheel kit to go on them


Yes they do make a caster set. HOWEVER because the legs have so much twist
in them the casters are next to worthless. You would be better off buying a
universal mobile base from Rockler for about $50-$60.


That's what I did on the used Craftsman RAS I bought this past year. The built-in casters
were total crap; threw them away and put the whole rig on a Delta universal mobile base.
