Dan, I have a mobile base that I purchased at the Grizzly store. It has the neatest way to lock the base in place. There are feet that you lower which raises the wheels so when the feet are down that is what it rests upon. When the feet are raised the wheels make contact. It is very interesting the way that the feet work. Picture a tube with a foot placed in the bottom and at the top a threaded part that is turned up or down. There is a magnet between the threaded part and the foot so when you turn the threaded part the foot does not turn but the magnet will pull the foot up away from the floor. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Rossi" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2009 3:05 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] mobile bases
Bob, You bring up an excellent point about tools VS space. I will most likely have to put everything up on mobile bases to be able to shuffle things around my imaginary future shop. I have never seen a mobile base in action. How do you lock / unlock, the casters? Or do they raise up an inch then lower back down after you position it? If the casters lock, how stable is the tool when working on it? With the way my basement floor is sloped, I may need to do something to level it out, otherwise, large, heavy pieces of equipment on wheels may be chasing me around the shop. -- Blue skies.
