I've built a few mobile bases and carts for my various shop machines, but I need one for my new RIDGID floor-mounted drill press and I'm a bit stumped on building this one.
I want the overall height of the machine raised about 6" max. I have some casters that are 4-1/4" tall overall (both wheel and bracket), which only leaves me 1-3/4" for the actual base/platform.
I thought about just gluing and screwing a couple of pieces of 3/4" plywood together for a 1-1/2" platform and then bolting the casters to that. Would that be stiff enough?
