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,

Probably not. I have two of these. I used oak for the bars. With only
a DP setting on it the oak bends so much that I had to take all adjustment
out of the feet so that the lifting wheel could lift enough so that the
feet did not drag.. I suspect thar a Unisaw would be much heavier.

Now if you used steel bars instead of wood, maybe. YMMV.

That's bizarre. I wouldn't think there would be enough lenth on a drill
press base to cause that. I would expect that on a contractor saw more
than a dp (but still that baseis better than the newer unit using ply).
But a unisaw should be fine, it's a smaller base.



Well you do have a point with the Unisaw base being smaller. The DP base
had to be expanded for stability since it was going to be mobile and not
bolted to he floor.
