I'm considering building a cabinet for my contractor saw and router
similar to this:

My biggest concern would be finding stable casters. The casters on my
roll around tool chest easily hold hundreds of pounds and the brakes
lock securely, but there is no way to stop the two swivel casters from
turning.

Any experiences here building one of these saw cabinets? What worked
and what didn't?


If you take a look at your tool chest again, I am pretty sure you will see
that two are fixed and two are swivel with brakes.

This does a pretty good job of keeping things from moving. How well the
design will work on a TS is another question. My fear is that you might end
up taking them off after they start moving with something heavy on the
table, or ripping a long board.

Take notice on how the commercial ones are made. All with retractable
wheels. Might be something to copy.
