Here's a question...
I heard a comment in one of Hoss' videos about the possible tippiness of the stand when shuttling his Z column around on the table. I am considering putting this machine on a mobile base so I can move it around a bit. I have one of these on my Delta Unisaw (another heavy tool) and it is great. But Unisaws don't tip! Maybe the thing to do is get a wider mobile base and position the mill in the center with angled bracket bolting the mill base to the mobile base? This would provide a more solid platform. The type of base I am thinking of has pads on each corner and a set of castors that engage with a lever. So when the castors are disengaged, the stand sits on 4 pads and not wheels. Grizzly sells these.
Anyone have experience with these?
cheers,
Michael
