Mobile base for a brake

[rsanter]

In my shop I need to keep things mobile as I don't have the space for everything to have its own space all the time.
Designed and build a mobile base for my new brake.
The wheels and the aluminum part of the base came from a mobile base that I purchased at a swap meet for $30.
Then I bent up some material to create a bridge of sorts to the outer pieces

Nice, looks like it could've came with the brake.

Think a break would be a hard one to make mobile, considering the working force. To me that stance looks narrow, but then again the picture could distort that.

I like you have wheels on my equipment, and think it is a plus. Having the ability to move and configure your working area with the tool/machines needed for any working project. Oh so nice, dust generators, can be moved outside and on and on...

Yes the stance is narrow. For bending smaller and thinner material it is not a problem. For thicker material I can tell it will be a problem.
I guess I got ahead of myself but the design will have a flip down "foot rail" for the front for me to step on when operating the brake to prevent it from wanting to tip
