Default How Immobile should a mobile base be?

My $20 Harbor Freight bases work great which I'm guessing is a similar

as yours. Solid as can be when in the down position and moves great when
in
the mobile position. It really sounds like you don't have the adjustable
pads adjusted properly or you are trying to use them to make up for an
uneven floor. I don't think the adjustable pads are really designed to
make up for a big unevenness in your floor, maybe you're expecting them to
do too
much? They should be adjustable to the point that the saw rests on them
when you lift the wheel and in the air when the wheel is down. This
shouldn't be difficult to do on a relatively even floor.



I'm sure the uneven floor is part ofthe problem. I'll have to find the
most even spot when I go to use it. For the most part I'm happy with the
base, gives me a little more roomm to move around.

Thanks for all the advice.
