    Default Making a small space bigger

    Hi all. I've recently purchased a 21" Carbatec bandsaw and it is taking up a fair bit of space in my 6m x 4m workspace. I'm considering my options to enable me to move the bandsaw around.

    I've looked at the mobile base from Wood Gears ( Mobile tool bases ) and I'm not sure anything would suit the 21" bandsaw, what do you think? Otherwise is there another base that might work for this saw, I would consider both DIY and ready made options. Unfortunately the concrete base is not totally level and has a few cracks / imperfections which would make a pallet mover impossible to use, so I'm told.

    Any ideas and tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I have 2 (from Hafco) but same load rating. One is under my bandsaw and the other under my jointer.
    My floor is not exactly perfect but they move OK with a bit of persuasion. I would not have any room to work without them.
