I need a better mobile base!
|
This mobile base came with my bandsaw when I bought it.
It's been a decade. I hate it. The wheels jam too easily. The swiveling wheel is a pain to use. Can you guys recommend a base that actually moves EASILY?
Semper fi,

I build all of mine to suit the machine. Casters are easy to find and so is the wood. There are lots of designs on Google to chose from or you can create your own.

I purchased the T28000 and it works beyond great! I can push my saw with one hand. It's pricey now, but worth it. After build so many this is the way to go. https://www.grizzly.com/products/grizzly...ase/t28000

Have one of those under my Walker Turner 16" bandsaw - works great! ![[Image: thumbsup.png]](https://www.forums.woodnet.net/images/icons/thumbsup.png){kind=icon} Doug

Welder, angle iron, and some new castors.

Interesting how a small speck of dirt can stop those in there tracks. Get out your scuzz brush and clean Marine.
You need to build three dust collector ports for the wheels and thousands of dollars for a dust collector. All kidding aside, larger castors would work better with a wider base. The higher it goes the more tipsy it becomes. TBH - I have the all-metal base that came with my 14" Jet. I just don't move it much to have your problem.

Hi Brad
If you are looking for something that will roll over cords and stuff make one from 4" wheels and where one end will fold down to get the bandsaw on easy
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
