Hello,
I am considering purchasing a band saw. One of the constraints that I have is floor space. I can not dedicate a space to just the band saw. An option I am considering is using a mobile base with the bandsaw. The thought is that the mobile base will allow me to move the band saw when I need to use it and move it back to the wall out of the way when I am done. I have done this with my planner and chop saw. Both are on home made cabinets on wheels.
I am considering the Powermatic PM1500 and would appreciate any feedback if using a mobile base in the manner described above is feasible ? If so, what are the tradeoffs with keeping the bandsaw on the mobile base while in use.
TIA
