mobile trolley for Carbetec combo
Carbatec combo machine, (happy chappy great deal done recently) but will need to move it for use regular. YIKES Carbatec know how to charge for mobile bases.
what are you guys using I will pay $150 if its worth it but can buy lot of other stuff for same price,
Will be in Adelaide (again ) over next few days so freight is not an issue, well Rex airlines might think so....I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

I recently bought mobile bases from both Carbatec and Hare and Forbes and thought the Hafco one was better, with a greater load capacity (227kg V 180kg) and had a better castor system that could be activated with your foot whereas you really have to squat down to work the Carbatec one. The Hafco one was more expensive, $110 V $99 but is a far better unit.
The two items in question Carbatec (Bora) Bora - Adjustable Universal Mobile Base | Carbatec
Hafco W930 - MBW-2 Mobile Base | Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse

I presume you mean a combination planer/thicknesser? I would buy some wheels and make my own with plywood and framing pine. It will actually be better than those flimsy metal jobbies.
This is what I did with my Jet 18" bandsaw and it's been standing on it for over six years now.

If you're going to go down the road of making your own, I would be very tempted to look at Richmond Casters - get all 4 wheels as braked units.
I've got some of theirs, and they leave the stuff at the Big Green Shed in the dust as far as quality and braking mechanisms are concerned.
Here's their site: Industrial Wheels & Castors | Richmond Wheel & Castor Co
I've got a set of S3350B's (75mm Reb Rubber Wheel 80kg Capacity Castor (S3350B) - Richmond Wheel & Castor Co) and they're very nice.
