    That flat, holey tabletop is niiiiice. I've never had that luxury. For me, it's concrete, kneepads, clamps, and careful measuring, , tack it, beat on it, and re-measuring.

    This is by far the best mobile base that I have seen made ! VERY good work !! I am going to alter the design just slightly so that it will fit in between my contractor saw base legs but keep to your winning design elements meaning bearings and the cuts/welds. and Thank You !

    That's just genius. Didn't know where you were going with this at first but as I saw the hinges and then the bearings it all came clear. Nice design.

    Great idea mate, thanks for sharing it. The internal castor design was exactly what I was searching for. The castors are cheaper not having a brake on them bonus. Im looking to create that system over 2.4 metres with 6 castors.

    Awesome build. You just created the MFT variant for welders. The retractable casters really are the trick.
    Toss on a sheet of plywood on top and you also have a workbench for woodworking or other non- welding items. I don't even weld, but I gotta have one!
