I'm making mobile bases for my table saw (Dewalt DW754), mitre saw (Bosch GCM8), and Bandsaw (BS300).
I want the bases to occupy as smaller footprint as possible but also be stable. I'm proposing to place castors (100mm) as far towards the corners as possible but concerned about stability - especially then the wheels are rotated under the base.
I see many instances where castors are on "outriggers", protruding beyond the base; however, I am wondering whether insetting the vertical panels of what is simply a 18mm ply box (with an internal panel to stop racking) will achieve the same result.
Am I shifting the tipping forces by doing this?
The DW745 is not particularly heavy.
The bandsaw is tall but a lot of weight sits low down.
The mitre saw will have small lathe stored in its base so the centre of gravity is very low!
Thoughts and input welcome!
