2.0 out of 5 stars Unstable and Overpriced, March 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Powermatic 2042336 Mobile Base (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought one with my PM66, and I don't much care for the design and the price. Although it's well made, the three-wheel set-up is unstable, and the saw will tilt with a fairly light touch. The swiveling wheel does not have a swivel lock, so even when everything is locked down, the saw will still shift unexpectedly. I drilled and tapped holes for heavy eye-bolts in the corners opposite the fixed wheels. The eye-bolts form outriggers that steady the saw and compensate for any uneveness in the floor. This is something that the maker should have provided. I'd recommend instead the Grizzly Shop-Fox mobile base which has four wheels and outriggers and costs less.
