Thanks Penn,
I made some retractable casters for my extendable work table from Shopnotes 2 months ago and they worked great. 2 X 4 base flat with castersmounted to that and then hinged to the inside frame of the table. Then I put a hinged 2 X 4 in the middle above the base with the casters so that when you lift the table up the casters fall down and the hinged 2 X 4 falls down and wedges the casters into the down position. I got the idea from a You Tube video and it worked great but doing that with the tablesaw would be a lot of work.

Just a quick update. I found someone here in CT. that has two Herculift's for the TS 3650. One is still new in the box. He is going to sell it to me for $80 and i pick it up tomorrow. I am giddy with excitement. Ever since I got the TS 3650 it has been a bear to move around the garage. I put some casters on it but they have never worked well under the extreme weight of this saw. So having the Herculift will be a sweet addition to an already sweet saw.
