I have an old Unisaw

The scale on the fence rail goes up to 31” (Biesemeyer).

I am looking to buy a mobile base. Any suggestions are welcome. I like the looks of the HTC and the Delta bases. Problem is I am not sure what fits.

thanks,
John

Please take a look at my blog entry http://lumberjocks.com/ic3ss/blog/22661 It will fit many sizes of saw bases, indexing every inch. I forget what the large and small limits are, but it’s a pretty good base. Think I like most about it over the other bases is that it has four wheels instead of three, making for a bit more stability. Good luck, John. -Wayne -- "I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bear skins."

I use it for my unisaw and have absolutely no complaints. Plus it is considerably cheaper then the competition at 70 dollars or less (pending sales).
