Bridgeport mobile base

[HMF]

Guys,

Here is an idea for Bridgeport owners:

This Bridgeport machine base was made mostly from 3" square tube, 5" casters, vibration isolation machine feet.

That is a slick set up. I have a fews pics of a simular one found on the net some where. I have concidered Building the same basic thing. I would be so much easyer to move the mill around. The rubber feet would be great to stablize the machine, and level it! Yup, I think my Mill will see one this summer.
What could it cost, $200.00 Max ?
I think it would be well worth it for a BP style mill.

Paul,

I looked for some plans, but couldn't find them. If you draw some up, would you consider scanning them and posting them here for others?

Thanks,


Nelson

Here is the pictures of Kev's Bridgeport Moving Dolley and a quick drawing I hashed up based on the pictures. Very simple design, that uses pallet jack wheels. I am sure that the CarryMaster Castors could be used which would have levelling feet built in.
