I want to make a mobile base similar to this http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?88687-Hammer-A3-31-Mobile-Base&p=893640&highlight=hammer+a3-31+mobile+base
I was looking and couldn't find a good source for tires, I want a larger rubber/polyurethane etc tire, I am think 6-8 inch, my floor in my woodshop is old and has some decent crack/shifting.
where is a good source for leveling feet, the feet and legs need to be decent quality but price is very important.
I have a unisaw with a granite extension table, so the table adds something like 100-150 pounds, I would also like to make either a cupboard or shelves for storage under the table so that will add weight also. what size metal should I use? I think tube steel maybe 1by2 or 1by2.5? what dimension and thickness could hold that weight and not flex?
also could I put the wheel in the center of the saw to make it a little easier to lift the legs up to move? this seems like it would also put more weight on the wheels to help the saw not move.
on a frame like this (about 7ft long) would I need to have a leg in the middle? I would prefer just the wheels on the left (saw side) and a spot on the right to lever it up off the wheels to move it to help it not bottom out on my floor.
