Making a liquid cooled circular steel chop saw base mobile keeping in mind the "do it yourself" mindset, using simple materials and fast fabrication processes. Instead of welding a complicated frame underneath the chop saw stand I thought this would be more simple, thus a better idea to bring to life. The mobile base consists of the original base cabinet or a stand and two heavy duty rectangular tubes that have angle iron tabs welded to it with the almighty MIG welder. Via the tabs the tubes/legs are then connected to the cabinet with simple fasteners like nuts and bolts. The legs have swiveling wheels in the front and fixed wheels in the rear. To keep the steel saw from moving around while in use I welded two nuts on the sides of the legs and cut two pieces of threaded rods with T handles on top that go through the nuts and finally put pressure on the ground via the special pads. This lifts up the swiveling front wheels, makes the whole base level (rear fixed wheels are lifted with washers) and stable for use. Making workshop tools/machinery mobile is nothing new. There are plenty of videos about it on KZfaq and internet. This was just my version of it. Thanks for watching!
