I had one of these under my craftsman saw, do you think it is a good
choice adapted for the unisaw?

Remember when harbor freight had a clone of these, good price, all you
had to do was use better bolts?
But of course, they did away with it.
Thanks,

It's all in the cam. There's a LOT of weight on that one wheel.
For 20 bucks more, I'd go with the Steel City version with 2 wheels,
shown on that same HD page, which might actually be the same one
Woodcraft sells under their house name...

On sale for 50 bucks, right now.


Yes it will work.
I don't like the double wheel lifts. It torques the frame while lifting.
I have the delta single wheel unit and like it with Wood rails , and
with steel rail too .

I also have an HTC with 2 lift wheels, I eliminated the second and
center mounted the one wheel, now it's nice.
