Post: Cast iron stains
I recently bought a lathe from grizzly.  So far I love it.  But it has one minor problem.  The way it's shipped, the cast iron legs are stored on top of the bed in the crate.  This has caused a stain ...

I'm having a hard time justifying $429 for just a mobile base.  Has anyone used some other mobile base with their sawstop?
