Seeking advice on making a cabinet table saw mobile

[Mike Scoggins]

Mike,

No, I've not had any trouble with stability. In fact, I'm a little surprised at how stable it is. The weight of the cabinet saw would require a fairly substanial load on the extension table to create enough moment to create a problem.

David,
I PM'd you a few days ago re. your mobile base, but you may not have gotten it. Can you provide some detail on that base? I have the 80/20 Industrial Erector Set catalog and found almost all the components you used except for the angle for the casters and the mounts for the adjustable feet. Did you use their product line or someone elses? Do you have to manually adjust the feet off the floor to engage the casters? I didn't see a mechanism to do it otherwise.

Thanks for the info,
Ed

Frank,

This is the sase I made out of 8620. It can get abit pricey but I think it's worth it.

Sorry Ed,

This sight isn't as user friendly for noticing private posts as others. To answer your questions: The caster angles and leveler bases are custom made. If I want to move my saw I have to lower the levelers until the casters contact to ground. The levelers were an after thought, as it turned out, I never have a need to move my saw so it was more important to have it level.

Hope this helps and sorry again for the delay.

Just go into UserCP at the top of the forum and tell the software (in the Options area off the left menu) to send you an instant email when you receive a private message. You can't get any more friendly than that!!

Not a problem Dave and thanks for the info. I am keeping your link in my Favorites and will refer to it if I decide to follow your design. Hope you don't mind.

Take Care, Ed
