Thread: Making the Triton mobile

Here's one thread. I'm sure there are more.

Not looking for something that complex.Just want to avoid skull dragging it across the floor everytime I use it,do have the wheels ,but not much use in a small area.Just making a small mobile cabinet for a Ryobi mitre saw,with braking on front two wheels. I have built it the same height as my workbench so workbench can serve as an infeed table for long lengths of timber.

Triton do a kit of wheels for the WC.

Oldphart,

One of the simplest modifications i have seen in Japan, was a man who bolted some angle iron between the front and rear legs on either side, using the holes for the wheel kit. He then filled in the gap with timber, giving him a mobile shelf.

Had the wheel kit in use also.

Thought process was that the Triton needed to maintain its foot print for stability, so he could at least use the space underneath it.

My comments on this mod would be to leave enough space for your feet at the switchbox end. Also, this mod will fix the legs in position, negating one of the design features of the workcenter, the legs that can spread a bit to lessen wobble on uneven surfaces.

Once you have your platform, you are free to modify it any way you want. I think my customer mainly used it for the dust bag, dust collector and his vaccum. From memory, there were also places for a hand full of common woodworking tools, squares, hammer etc.
