Has anyone tried to put their CW on a service/utility cart to make it mobile? How did it work?

I have mine on a metal rolling cart and it works well the wheels lock so that helps when doing projects. Sorry about the mess in the picture I need to clean the shop.

I've got mine on a shop made flip top stand that it shares with my planer. Works like a champ!

I have mine on a mobile base with locking casters made from plans in WOOD magazine.

Mine is on a rolling service cart from Harbor Freight. It has two locking casters and I have not had any problems with stability.

I have the same one. Only I flipped the top selve so I wouldn't have the blocks

Was down at Grizzly a few years ago and they were selling the stand for $15 so I got it. Used 2x6's and casters and made it mobile. Works great for me:smile:

I use a Dewalt 7350 planer stand I got from Amazon.

My C machine is on a cabinet I made with locking casters. I has 2 amall drawers for the CarveWright bits etc and junder that router bits (router table is accross the insle) The downdraft DC is next to that a deeper drawer with tools, lube and parts. Below that are several larger drawers for the bathroom scale and sleds etc. I keep the C on a downdraft so I can show an unmodified machine for StartU demos. My B is on a homemade cart with locking casters and one drawer and a lower shelf fot pieces of wood with nails driven thru for finishing projects. The B has an Erwin DC.

I built this cabnet back in 2008 right after purchasing the Carvewright. The drawers are dovetailed and have Blum soft-close drawer guides. I had originally built it for a downdraft dust collector before all of the DC options were available. The pictures were taken when I was trying out the Dust Devil dust collector.

What a bunch of great ideas. I really need to make my tools more mobile. One half of a garage can get really crowded. I put my lathe on a mobile stand. My table saw and planer are on stands with no wheels but are easy enough to move. I will head out to Harbor Freight, they have a 24"X36" service cart on sale that should work great. Thanks for all the tips.
