Hey Group,
In upgrading my shop tools I purchased mobile bases for them too. For
those of you that have or had large tools on mobile bases, where you
happy with the way they worked or did you feel they were more stabile
off the base? I know the base is locked stationary when the tool is
used.
Has anybody done away with the base and prefer a more permanent
setting?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Marc
Everything in my shop is mobil, except for the benchtop tool.
The ones that are best have casters in the legs; my Performax sander and
Craftsman RAS. The commercial mobil bases suck. If I had it to do again I
would have made bases with casters.
The only tool I ever lock is my table saw, which I rarely move. All the
others have locks, but I don't usually use them.
If you can return the bases, I highly recommend you make your own. Much
cheaper, much better.
