I'm finally getting around to sorting out my floor standing drill press. I want to make it easily moveable which either means on a "pallet" or a wheeled platform. The existing base is too wide to be spanned by pallet truck forks. I want to extend the base out a bit for stability and maybe add a small amount of storage that I could load up with heavy stock for extra stability. Maybe a shelf or two. I need to fit the VFD in a box, similar in size to the grey one shown, maybe. I don't like having VFD and control gear fitted to a nearby wall. Construction will be welded from whatever junk I have lying around.
I may need castors, but the only decent ones I have are probably too large unless I fabricate outriggers, which is an option.
Ideas or photos?
