Mike,

Thanks for casters details. Now that I am pretty sure where the saw will reside I do not need it on mobile base or casters however I still would like to be able to move it. So skids like Shinta are most suitable. BTW, mine is also Lagana, LT16 model. I never thought much about it but seems like being higher may be another plus.

Shinta,

Yes, I am concerned with tripping so will need to think a bit. Since I plan to go from side, perhaps I can make the rear skid longer for stability. Where it is located, the long rear skid won’t be a huge trip hazard and also be out of the way while using it.

?Dave,

The railroad track is one of my anvils for messing around with metals and for building biceps!? :)

Imran,

Given the dimension of the FB710's base, the wooden base works out perfect for a narrow-fork pallet jack with 4-foot forks.? I went cheap and built it from the crate material of the bandsaw, but so far, it has been sturdy enough to support the FB710 during operation and moving.? Though, I only move the saw for blade changes, which is infrequent.??


Mike,

I have similar casters on a Hammer A3-31.? They works well for moving the A3-31 on a flat concrete floor.? The FB710 is a whole lot heavier with a higher center of gravity.? I am not sure, but those casters may make it difficult to move the FB710 around.? Also, they may not be able to be installed underneath the FB710's base (see picture), unless you weld additional corner triangle/square plate to the base's corners.??
