Default I ordered the Rikon 18"er

I've used the General International 50-025 base, rated at 500 pounds
maximum, for my Delta 14" bandsaw. My saw only weighs about 200 pounds, but
I can push it around in my gara-shop with one hand quite easily.

Here's a link:

Here's a link to the place I bought it from (no relation, they're a Canadian
based company, but ship to the US, I believe):
http://www.houseoftools.com/product.htm?pid=18408 ($60 CDN, or $51.78 US)

It did take me two tries to put it together properly. Can't remember what I
did wrong the first time, but I ended up disassembling a good chunk of it
and putting it back together correctly.

Now that I have ordered the Rikon 18" band saw, are there any
recommendations for a mobile base?

I see also that wood craft has Timberwolf blades for 20% off this month.

how much does it weigh? If it's under 300 I'll have 1 possible
suggestion that works well under my BS and other equip.

Net weight 389 lb. IIRC the saw is around 350 lbs.

no way for me to recommend the Delta 50-345 Universal Mobile Base Kit
then. that saw is too heavy for it. max weight for the 345 is 300 lbs.
