First time poster- excited to get back into woodworking!!
I have an 8” Bridgewood jointer that I’m rebuilding. The base has 2 tabs on the short sides. I’m looking for a mobile base (recommendations welcome). Should I cut grind the tabs off, leave them and set it directly on the base supports, or add a plywood base and attach to the tabs? I guess removing them saves a few inches of the size of the base. Adding the plywood adds more stability(?), and raises the jointer by about an inch (I’m 6’1” if that matters). Any thoughts?
I also need a mobile base for a PM66 with 52” Biesemeyer fence that I’m rebuilding , but I thought I’d get one base first to see how I like it.

Thanks for your time and suggestions
