 Rocking mobile base
I finally got a chain fall so I could hoist that 400 pound monster off the mobile base. After cutting some triangle pieces of 3/4" ply and putting them in the corners of the base, I let the saw down on it and, it rocked. No change. Well heck. I then put some thick felt table pads on the feet and let down on the base. It rocked.
Now the frustration sets in. Looking under the cabinet, I noticed the feet are on some rather thin sheet metal in the corners of the cabinet, so I cut some 1x2" oak stock to fit in the corners of the base, and have the corners of the cabinet sit on those. That worked. It sits nice and tight.
It would have prevented a lot of trouble if I had just taken the plastic feet off in the first place. |
