As the heavy parts that had been repainted started to pile up I knew it was time to figure out a mobile base for the saw. I could have purchased a $120 adjust-to-fit base that would accept the weight of the saw but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
We had a pile of scrap and drops at work I put to use.
Not having a pulse module and welding stainless at the house makes managing the heat tough. I overcooked these guys pretty well as shown by the thick oxide layer. The downhill fillet worked out alright, but clearly that was because of the angle's thickness not my own skill.
A stand was born.
The swivel casters are a tight fit both in relation to the angle and the gusset. I had originally planned to run a supporting band over the top of the caster plate to truss it from above, but as shown below, it may be overkill.
The motor mount plate refinished along with it's clocking tab and pivot rod.
I finally assembled some parts and it's resembling itself once again.
