Those of you that have built mobile bases, do you have enough clearance to turn the handwheel (and, more importantly, move the locking lever) when the saw sits back a few inches from the edge?
It seems to me that if the front of the saw is not flush with the front of the base it's mounted to, you may have a tough time getting your hand in there. I have seen mobile bases with the saw flush, and set back 4" or so.
For stability I would prefer to make my base a bit deeper than the saw table, and center the saw front-to-back, but now I'm not so sure.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
