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.



It is reasuring that some thing never change. I bought my RAS in 1979 and
got rid of it some where around 1987.
