Gents: will be in the neighborhood of the local Rockler & Woodcraft stores later this week. Just might take a culture trip to both to help stimulate the economy.
Looking @ a Rockler flier, I saw two items of interest:
-- “Dust Right” expanding hose: expands to 21 ft. long, then “collapses to 3 ft. I can see that it would have an application in my shop.

Anyone know anything ‘bout such hoses?
--”All Terrain Mobile Base”: expandable & supports up to 800 lbs w/ 5” urethane wheels; yet only raises the machine 1” higher off the floor. My 15“ planer is a bear to move thanks to the El Cheapo & Mickey Mouse design built-in wheels. Looked @ the parts diagram & can easily remove the wheels.
Seems that large dia. wheels would make it easier to move. Again anyone have any experience w/ this base or seen one?
