   Can you be more clear about the fence and table and the "rolling away"?

   I wonder if he is tugging on the table to move the saw out of the way.  Is this a cabinet saw with the blade mounted below the table?

   That's my guess. The Powermatic 65 is a fairly conventional 10" cabinet saw. It was replaced by the model 66 a number of years ago.John White

   the saw has approx. 4' extension for a router lift. this is the end I use to roll it around. lift wheel is on this end. I've taken the top off
   and can detect no play/slop anywhere in trunnion assem. going to dig a little deeper when I have some time. I'm beginning to think maybe this is a design the model 66 addressed, or maybe it just doesn't like being wheeled around. gary t

   The top and the trunnion system on cabinet saws are both attached to a typically not too substantial frame around the the top of the sheet metal cabinet. Pulling on the table extensions will easily throw the machine out of alignment.John White

   Thanks. That's one of the thoughts I've had,  there isn't any other reason I can think of. I've found no slop/play in the trunnion assy.  and after some of my projects rolling the saw away is alot like off roading  g.t.
