Easy-to-Build Mobile Base

Since my workshop shares space in the garage with cars, my tools need to be mobile. So I made a simple base for each tool.

To build a base, I screwed swivel casters to a 2x4 attached to the legs of the tool, as in detail ‘a’. To lock the machine in place for use, I added a pair of flip-down feet attached to the base with piano hinges. Magnets attached to the feet hold them up out of the way when moving the tool.

Good Woodworking,
