Thanks for the pics of the bandsaw base. For the past few days I have been background processing what to do with my bandsaw which is currently sitting in a mobile base that I hate. I think I know now what to do. My saw is small so probably will access from side instead of front.

?Mike,
The FB710 is about 51.5" deep from back of the spine column to the edge of the cast iron table, which is 33 x 27.5 inches with you standing at the infeed side.? Table height is about 36".? Mine sits on a 4-inch-tall base so I can move it around using my pallet jack.? For an average height person, the height of the table at 40 inches (saw + base) is comfortable.? The cast iron table's edge is about 6.5 inches from the column.? There is sheet metal small extension table to cover the infeed space between cast iron table and column.? I attach pictures.??
I have the mechanical foot brake, which I rarely use.? I just let the saw coast to a stop.? If you open the top fly wheel door while it is under power, there is a switch to cut power to the saw.? If the door is open, the saw won't start.? The bottom door opens in tandem with the top door.? So far, I am pleased with the resaw performance with a 1-inch Woodmaster CT.? It has become my favorite way for ripping.??
