Hi Bolton

Mobile Base
They are made by Shop-Fox and you can find them all over the place.
I have two of the Mini ones and they work great, one is under my jointer that is about 260lbs.
Plus they let you keep the tool low and keep the center of gravity down so the tool can't tip over..or to say it's makes it a bit harded for them to flip over.. , by the time you buy the wheels and the other type of frame and wood your at about the same price...
What makes the Grizzly/Shop-Fox nice they have two knobs on one end that you can turn down if your shop floor is not quite level like the normal garage shops are and they hold the tool in place and they are all painted steel... ready to go out of the box...

Talking about casters, if you have one of the many Harbor Freight outlets by you do stop in and check out the casters,, from .50cents ea. to 5.oo dollars ea.in many types , big bins of them all over the store,, I always get a hand full when I go there,I'm always putting something on wheels... I like the ones with the blue and black wheels....and they are just the right price all the time.. that reminds me I need to go by and get some more, I just used the last set...

Any thoughts? Anything better?
