    I got a D2058A originally for my PCS - but it wouldn't fit without cutting the rails, and it only had two swivel casters. After many hijinks, it's ended up as a mobile base for my outfeed/assembly...

    Erik, I think that's excellent advice. I did order the Rikon back in July, and I suspect I'll just ride it out - it'll be a nice surprise when it does turn up. But if any group knew of a better plan...
