Just getting ready to assemble my new Craftsman saw, Model# 00922124000
and put it on a General mobile base. Model # 50-025. How close should the
saw base fit inside the framework of the moble base? As tight as it will
allow or should it fit on the base with some slack between the base rails
and the saw base?

I'd put it as tight as it will go, without having to wedge it in place. You
shouldn't have a whole lot of leeway, because the base has small corner
plates on which the feet sit. If you adjust the base too wide or deep, there
is a chance it might slide off the corner plates when you are moving it.

Thanks Bob,
You are right, It might possibly slip on the mobile base when trying to move
it around.
I'll go with that reasoning and put the base together as close to the size
of the saw base as I can

My TS didn't have adjustable feet. My jointer did, but I actually
removed them when I put it on the mobile base, because it seemed more
solid without the feet.

Did your saw stand have adjustable feet with pads or just a bare metal
bottom?
This one comes with adjustable levelers with rubber pads on them.
