For lots of poeple two  swivels will work just fine.  IT comes down to 'do
you need to push it sideways and back-forth, or just back and forth?"  In
my case, my saw is stored in a corner of the garage, with stuff around it.
to get it out, I need to move it right, then away from the back wall, and
then swivel it 90 degrees.  Impossible to do with two swivels, but pretty
straightforward with four. (as  I mentioned, I put two kits together to
make that happen, biut there are kits with four swivels)   I only lock two
of the wheels in storage, but do all four in use, easy enough to do with
the toe of a boot.  my band saw is on a two swivel base, because it just
gets pushed against the wall.
