Rolling stand for lathe

[larryc]

Has anybody used a rolling saw stand such as the Dewalt DW7740RS (or any other such stand) to make their mini lathe totally portable?

my local club has a bunch of midi-lathes on rolling stands very similar to that one.

I bought the jet stand and added casters from Woodcraft. Makes a sweet setup.

I made one from a dolly that mimicked the ridgid chopsaw cart. $37.00 for the dolly 2 pairs of hinges. 8 U bolts, and some mdf and scrap lumber. it stores vertically.

I made a stand for my lathe from the base from an old gas grill. The top was made by edge-gluing lengths of 2x6 pine boards. Ain't elegant, but it works.

I did the same. It's solid and really easy to move around. Of course it's a single purpose solution.

That's more what I'm looking for.
Do you have pixs with it upright?

I use the same set up with a one inch plywood top. It's stable and no vibration.

home depot has a similar unit on sale often

Mobile Miter Saw Stand-AC9944 at The Home Depot

depending on your lathe it might be better to purchase a stand that was made for it and add casters. it might end up coming out less.

I've a Mercury micro with bed extension. Had it bolted to a 2x6 that was screwed to a table. When I moved, I took lathe, but not table. Wife bought me a Jawhorse as one of my Christmas gifts, used it a bit as designed. The other day wanted to turn a pretty good sized bowl and didn't want the lathe moving like usual. Clamped the 2x6 to Jawhorse. Turned a 8" diameter and it didn't move at all. And it all folds right up.

I have a few HTC universal bases on big tools in my shop. I think the load capacity is 400 lbs. You can assemble the base to fit a wide variety of lengths/widths. Very robust and the wheels lock down tight when you want to keep it in place.

I use a universal stand for my midi Rikon that I bought at Woodcraft. Here is the link Buy RIKON Universal Mini Lathe Stand at Woodcraft It can be adjusted to fit most lathes. I put urethane casters on the stand and it works great. The casters lock tight and I can move it easily.
