Please see photos and respond only to my Craigslist ad - it is linked

I have four of these. They are steel rolling bases with precision
Albion casters and four adjustable stabilizing/leveling feet. They
would be ideal for setting up a garage wood or metal shop with tools
that could be rolled out and stabilized for use, then rolled away for
storage.


The ball-bearing casters have grease fittings on both the wheels and
the swivels, and the wheels are replaceable.


The bases are were built for a commercial application where each would
hold well over 1000 lbs of equipment. The mounting surfaces are
precision-machined flat within 0.002", and mounting bolts are
included.


These bases are very heavy, and require two people to lift. They will
be many times more stable and vibration-free than the cheap "wheel
kits" normally sold for power tools.


I am selling these bases for less than the price of one caster wheel
from Grainger!


Why in the world would you ever sell them so cheap? You could
quadruple the price and you'd still get rid of them quickly.

You guys are making me feel dumb

I didn't know what to ask for them. Seems like something that would
only appeal to a few people (home shop guys), and because they're too
heavy to ship the buyer would need to be local, so I figured it might
be hard to find someone. If they disappear fast I'll know better next
time. Anyway, I published a price so I'm not going to renege on it.

best regards,
