New mobile platform for the SawStop taking shape
I really hate mobile bases, I’ve never used one that didn’t make the tool wobbly. So I’ve been working on this “mobile platform” for my new SawStop. I’ve had this idea for a while and I figured I may as well try it out with the new saw. Basically just some 2x4s jointed and planed square, then glued together into blocks and mounted under some 3/4″ birch ply. The tunnels allow the forks of a standard pallet jack to slide in and move it around very easily, then it sits down solidly. However, since the concrete guys did a relatively poor job on this are of the slab, I’ll need to add some leveling feet. But even now, it’s pretty solid and way better than my old Jet mobile base. The extra area will give me a place to mount the power cutoff and maybe some other storage. I also really like the way it raises the top to 37″, I find I’m most comfortable with my work surfaces at 37-39″.
