4x6 Horizontal Bandsaw mods

Hi
Already thinking about doing the same as you. I have had my little saw for 30 years and it does have sentimental value as my late Mother bought it for me. But the thin base unfortunately lets it down. So after seeing your post I feel after all this time the saw could do with the base upgrade. Thank you for posting I will let you know how I get on making it.

Anyone making a base, the wheels should be out far enough so when you raise the arm into vertical position the center of gravity is still well inside the wheelbase. Really easy to tip one over otherwise.
