Just picked up the DP400 from Lowes for $220. But I would really like to
have a mobile base for it seeing that it is good size for my garage. There
was one idea I found online here

Now this is not bad but I'd like to have more of footprint than just the
drill base itself. The manual suggests at least 3" extra all around. We
have a couple of drills this size at work but they are bolted to the cement,
so I don't know how tipsy they get without securing. Of course bolting to
the ground is best. The ones at work don't move at all which is great .
Of the mobile bases that I saw for sale the Delta 50-345 looks best to me in
that I could make a plywood base to fit the mobile part and I like the
simple lifting 3rd wheel.
And there is the HTC2000 by I don't know who really but the delta just looks
easier overall.
Now I really don't have the funds I want to put out $50 at this point for a
mobile base, I need to buy some building supplies for my project instead.
I'd like to cut this cost in half at least.
Any ideas?
