hi all - not sure where to post this

it is a project i would like to do, but also i am seeking input and advice b/c i am a beginner

here is a picture of a belt sander stand made by the mfg:

attached are the specs for the baseplate that the motor/sander are currently mounted on

also, there is a tool attachment tray:

the post is 26" and 5" square - I don't know the thickness - would you think 1/8 or 1/4 would be good?

the base looks like cast iron - i cant do that - plain plate could work, but is pretty plain - any thoughts? (would like wheels but also adjustable feet)

the tool tray has the same dimensions as the base and fits between the base and the mounting plate - what thickness steel would you make the tray out of? - and for the tray, just weld a frame and a base? how would you attach the mounting plate to the tray?

thanks for any thoughts or ideas

This design looks to me, one that should be bolted to the floor. It would appear to be top heavy. So if going with wheels I would go with another design for the base. You would need something that is a little wider than the top section. (motor , Grinder etc.) Al.

thanks A1 - the oem base is 13" deep by 15" wide - what would you suggest it goes up to? - while it will have wheels, i would ideally also have leveling feet so when in use it would be on 4 feet - does that change your mind?

thanks
