Default "Retractable" Casters for Radial Arm Saw base ???

Try Harbor Freight 41915 Universal Mobile Base kit (if still available). Its
exactly the same as Delta's, but with poor instructions. For about 1/3 the
price you can figure it out. I have two of the Delata and two Harbor
Freight. Samo samo.

Good luck, Jim

Can anyone point to a supplier of casters that easily retract (and
hopefully easily extend)?

I need to be able to roll my Radial Arm Saw on it's moderately heavy
base from place to place. But I really want the base to sit on it's own
legs when it's parked-for-work. I have casters with 'locks' on them on
my planer and it's never stable, and moves a bit way too easily - a bad
solution.

Also, any DIY - weldit ideas welcome...

Thanks!
