Shop Tools Mount On Wheeled Cart

Shop Tools Mount On Wheeled Cart FARM SHOP Miscellaneous Moving big shop tools in and out of his garage is an easy job for Gene Williams since he mounted them on a 4-wheel cart fitted with caster wheels The cart carries a vise drill press and grinder He moves it with a metal pull handle attached to one end “I’m semi retired and we recently moved to a smaller place As a result I went from a big workshop to a 2-car attached garage ” says Williams “I didn’t want to give up all my tools and didn’t want the drill cuttings and grindings falling on the garage floor to track into our house I roll the cart out to the edge of our driveway to do my work and use air to blow any debris toward the yard ” He already had a metal framed cart with locking caster wheels He mounted an oak pallet on top of the cart and added a 1/2-in thick steel plate on top of the pallet to which he lag-bolted the tools “I didn’t need to use such a heavy steel plate but it was what I already had and it makes a heavy solid base ” says Williams “I drilled holes in the plate and lag- bolted through them to the pallet I mounted the drill press on a 2-in thick wooden block so that it sets up higher and I can drill longer pieces ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Gene Williams Jr 1903 College Ave Vincennes Ind 47591 ph 812 890-1530; Gene-Cj@hotmail com
