The base of my PM60 jointer is 17x22 (plus 3" on the 22 side for the bolt down tabs). I have looked at alot of posts and have researched alot of bases. It seems that most people like the Shop Fox bases, whihc brings my first question On these universal bases, has anyone cut down the metal posts to shorten the demensions. How did it work? my goal is to have the base snug right up against the base of the jointer for a custom look.
I love the delta in bruces thread, but its a little to wide for my jointer and I worry the jointer will slide around.

Which leads me to this new one I found from Jet. its almost a prefect fit, and if I shave off a little of the ears on the base of the jointer it will be perfect. but i am confused by the description of it being a 3-point leveling system, even though all pictures i have seen show 2 fixed wheels and 2 castor wheels. I don't want a 3 wheeled base, because I have heard they can be tippy. Am i just reading it wrong, can a 4 wheeled base have a three point leveling system? I am trying to call jettools now but they aren't answering the phone and I want to order soon.
