It's well done but not what I'd want.

I think I may put some casters on mine that engage via a quick
adjustment ring and disengage with same. With the ring large
enough to get good leverage but not so big to get in the way.

I haven't seen anything off the shelf. But I'm still looking
around.

I use this on my table saw:

I think I would prefer something with multiple casters that rotate vs. the 2 fixed and 1 rotating that this base uses. My shop is really small and while pulling the saw straight out from the wall and pushing it back in is fine, angling it is a bear since I basically have to drag the back wheels sideways.



I have this under my 700# Sawstop saw. If moves as you like, all
casters swivel. Pricey and made by Sawstop. It is the industrial
mobile base. It has a hydraulic lift pedal that you pump 4~5 times and
the beast floats across the floor. My garage floor is slightly slanted
towards the drive way and if I am not careful the saw will roll out of
the garage on its own. Tap a lever and the saw floats down to the
floor. It is seriously the Cadillac of mobile bases.

My previous Jet cabinet saw was much lighter but was on a tripod style,
2 wheels fixed and one swiveled. I thought it was great but ir required
some maneuvering to get it into a specific place. The Sawstop
Industrial mobile base works so well that I have never longed for the
old stile base.

$300 and for me worth every penny.

Based on the size of my shop the $/ft cost would be significantly higher for me than for you. I wouldn't near the mileage out of my base that you get. ;-)
