This is my version of the mobile base. There are lots of commercial ones available but whats the fun in that.
Cant really make plans for this project because dimensions would be different depending on what your using the base for.
This set up has a large mechanical advantage, great for heavy workbenches. Just guessing with all the tools in the bench it probably weighs at least 400lbs and I can easily engage the mobile base with one hand.

Have seen that design concept and been waiting for a good time to build it. So I was very glad to watch you build it and to see it in action. Especially like the spring loaded locking and release arm! Great job! Thanks for sharing!

I was looking at various geared scissor jack based lift systems to do this to my bench. SO glad I found a simple, easy to make, much cheaper solution! Liked and subscribed, thank you!

Nice solution, but I'm sure I'd trip over the lever daily. Probably just me ; - ). You may consider adding a hinge-point near the end of the lever. That way the projected end could be rotated up and out of the way. Add a magnetic catch to keep it in the vertical position until you need it.

Nice work. I just completed a mobile base for my work bench based on your design. Thanks for such a great design and in depth and complete video. I saw comment about drilling two sets of holes as you figured the correct placement of the pivot point. I took that into consideration and first built my wheel system and then put the bench up on 1/2' pieces of plywood to give the proper lift height, slid the lift system into place and then drilled my pivot holes.

@Shopbuilt 8 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I can't remember what happened their but I think the problem for mine was making sure it stayed low profile when it was down because of the low bottom shelf. I'm glad to hear the mobile base worked out for you and thanks for watching Ryan

@BoranTheki 8 жыл бұрын

Good job. I'm planning a work bench at the moment. A 48" x 96" bench with cabinets, shelves, built-in router table, etc. Was thinking of designing a 3 wheeler. My floor is a bit bumpy and uneven. 3 wheels would prevent wobble. Gonna get good casters with brakes and swivel locks. I'm also planning to add that 4th caster in case it isn't stable enough on the one end that has the one caster. I'd trade work spaces as my garage is a bit smaller than yours but you can keep that weather. Greetings from California. :-)

@caspianx67 7 жыл бұрын

The design looks really functional and fairly compact under the workbench. I like that the lever engages and latches when you step down on it. Others have mentioned using a push-stick for the narrow rips - seconded! Also, you might want to lower the band saw blade guide to slightly above the piece you're cutting -- the time lapse shows a fair amount of deflection of the blade, which can cause it to wander in the cut, and make it break sooner.

@theroboticscodedepot7736 6 жыл бұрын

I've used this type of system to "Jack" wheels up and into position before but the problem I ran into is that while it rolls fine over a smooth garage floor if you want to roll it over something like the 3/4 inch step at the end of your garage the legs get caught. Ball bearing locking casters are probably a better solution if you need to roll it over anything higher than 1/8 inch.
