looking for ideas for mobile bridgeport

[sliverr2]

Once it is up how hard is it to move? I recall Bridgeports are heavy for their size. You could always use flat iron strips for the wheels to roll on although they or rails could be a trip hazard.

I have not done anything to make it fast and simple yet but have moved them around on pins (3/4 dia rod) and also slid them on two pieces of 3/4 rod 10 to 12 feet long they move quite easily once you get them moving actually dont push to hard or they will go farther than you want.

I don't have a Bridgeport but this is what I built for my Burke Millrite. The bolt above the square tubing serves as a jack bolt to lift the machine. The casters are 4" and rated for 700 lbs. each. I can roll it easily by my self.

I built this one last year from a set of pans that I bought on eBay (current item number 221264551903) HERE. He's a great guy to deal with and the plans were easy to read.

I'm currently painting the base of my BP now and will bolt it to the mobile base when I'm finished.
