Question pistorius emn14

[canada framer]

i would like to know if anyone has installed wheels on a pistorius double miter saw (emn14) machine?
i know that u cant move it around like a table saw due to the infeed and outfeed ...its very very heavy but they do sell wheels for that wheight....space is tight and i dont use it often so i need a solution...
thanks

I definately would not do it. Too much could go wrong.

I have one, but would never consider putting it on wheels. I don't want any chance of it moving while I am cutting.

I third that emotion. I only have an EMN-12 but the thought of making it mobile and all that could go wrong make me shudder.

Many other things could be made mobile in a framer's shop but that is not one of them.

On Larry's sentiment of making other things mobile you could make a table that rolls back to cover the saw extensions and a cut out for the blade housing. This could give you a work surface that could be rolled away when the saw is used.

Get a smaller saw.

I would gladly trade you a Frame Square for the EMN 14
