I just put my new Unisaw on a Delta 50-289 base. I put 6-swivel casters on it. Four under the saw and two at the far right:

I put the casters on for a couple of reasons. I like the saw a little higher than the std. base and I plan to build a cabinet under the right wing and the kicker wheel/handle would have taken up most of the space.
I need to move the saw every time I use it so I need it to be very mobile but it seems to be a little too mobile with six swivels.
Do you think it would help to put fixed casters on the far right (that's the side that goes against the wall)?
Also, is there a way to make a fixed caster out of a swivel?
Thanks,
Mike
