Homemade Mobile Base for my G0690

how do you lock it down?

-- I cut it three times and it's still too short

”how do you lock it down?”

It has locking casters.

Chris,

Remarkable improvement on the usual mobile bases. That looks rock solid. Thanks for sharing.

That looks good, I just finished a similar one for my TS.

Looks terrific! I’m just in the process of trying to figure out a Movable base for 2 Rolling Tool Holders. Might just “Borrow” your design if that’s okay.

What was the cost of materials?

-- “Once more unto the breach, dear friends...” Henry V - Act III, Scene I

”What was the cost of materials?”

The angle iron was cut-offs left from other projects so i’d have to say our customers paid for that. I have around 40 bucks in it for the casters. if i had to pay for the iron i would say around 60 bucks.

If you have a big job on and the “castor locking method” is not keeping things as steady as you want then you might want to use this method. I keep a set of four hockey pucks and a big wrecking bar handy. Just lever up the base at each corner, insert hockey pucks and she should be rock steady. I have bases on all my heavy kit and it works well.

Good tip Simon, thanks.

that is a good tip simon, thanks. ive since mounted my saw on it and it seems pretty steady with all four casters locked.
