The way my TS is stored I only have access to 2 sides, the front

No, just swap the front, wheels, Leave the rear wheels alone.


And or just swap the wheel that swivel and leave the fixed wheels alone.
Swapping the swivel wheels and jack levers will move the lever to the
side and away from the front.

I don't see how that's going to work. I don't understand what's
moving. I'll have to go downstairs and look at them closer but I
think we're talking about very different things.



If you swap the left and right swivel wheels you have to rotate them 90
degrees, clockwise and counter clockwise, to fit. Then the lift levers
are on the side/end vs. the front.

I couldn't imagine what you were talking about until I went downstairs

drill press (it was a PITA as it was). It'll be fairly easy to change
the base on my router table, though it is heavy.
