Today I'm going to be upgrading my band saw by adding a mobile base. The saw always seems to be in the way and this is a quick upgrade that will be well worth it. Watch the video to see what I did!

DUDE... that's a FANTASTIC little hack!! One of my favorite quotes is from Teddy Roosevelt "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are"!! This design is the embodiment of that!! Great job!!

I have a 18 inch jet bandsaw that weighs nearly 400 lbs. I think I'm going to add wheels like this but make both sets retractable.

Great idea I'm having the same problem with my bandsaw always getting in the way. I plan on following your design so I can solve the same problem. I have three questions: 1. How high from the bottom edge should the back rollers be from the floor so when the band saw is tipped the wheels engage? 2. Just wondering how well the 2x4 will hold up without cracking with the force of the lifting pipe? 3. Is there enough play in the pipe to pull it around and set it in under the bolt in the lock position?

Thanks man. Yeah it worked pretty well. I did notice the 2x4 started splitting a little. That happened about a year in. But I don’t have a longer timeframe because our home and garage burned down in 2018.

I liked the video but couldn't figure out how you used the large hole you made with the forstner bit.

I made this base. Clever, simple idea -thank you. The only difficulty I had was engaging the back (non-levered wheels) engage with the floor. I mounted them about 1/16" above the floor but when I crankedthe hinged front wheels down, the rear of the base did not rise up on the wheels as it did did in your video (so I basically had a 2-wheel base). Any suggestions?

Hmmm.. I would guess your hinged casters aren’t lifting up the machine high enough. Your base isn’t tilting enough to rest on the fixed casters.
