In fact I am very addicted to it. Being a computer scientist/mathematician I relate very well to modelling tools. It was simple enough to learn it in a day and put this model together. Its very fun creating your own model that you design and putting it in a 3D modelling tool.

So I decided that I needed to build a few of these mobile bases as I only have a one stall garage shop (you know, the wife stuck me in there). I will build one for my planer and one for my mitre saw.

If you would like to download it, it is out in the 3D warehouse. It is 100% compliant with CutList, with example materials that you can change if you want.

This is a general view of it.

X-Ray view.

If you want to download the SketchUp model, go to the 3D Warehouse and use this as your search criteria
