The Milwaukee wheel set for making their panel saw more portable works to a certain extent.
br / I would have preferred that the wheels didn't depend on leaving slack in the tightening of the axle bolt for their freedom of operation. A machined shoulder bolt as an axle would have been preferable. The bolt provided had no true shoulder; it was just an unthreaded portion.
br /I'm looking for a hardware store substitute, as the wheels are loosening after only a dozen or so short moves.
br /I have to stress, though, that the saw is a real value for my small cabinet shop. The crosscuts are of excellent quality, even in sensitive veneers, and they are very square!

Milwaukee Panel Saw Wheel Kit - Better than nothing...

The wheels are a hard plastic of some sort like heavy duty caster wheels without the axle or shaft. Although you can wheel the saw around somewhat, a locking/rotating set would have been a better design, maybe with a 3rd wheel for the back. As it is, you have to tilt the saw to perpendicular to roll it. To change direction, you have to pick up an end and then put it down, roll, pick up, put down, repeat... It is not an easy move with only one person, this bad boy weighs over 150 pounds, is about 6 feet tall and 9 feet long with the extension kit (see my other review). Installation however, was simple, just bolt them on.
