I have a problem I need to solve. Well multiples, but since I have opted to stay in the garage and dedicate the shed for non shop stuff, That means the shop is the garage, complete with a floor that slopes 3.5" over a run of 20'. Not a huge slope, but enough to drive me nuts.
As I have mentioned in my thread about shop projects. I intend to build flip top cabinets for various benchtop tools. NONE of the plans I have seen deal with levelling at all, they simply ride on casters, if even that, usually just fixed position wheels.
The Harbor Freight mobile base has those nice big levellers on the front, too bad not on the back but I digress... My question is this...
Is there a pre existing leveller setup that might include a bracket that I can bolt on to the base of the flip top cabinet, with a nice big handwheel to raise / lower the pad? Or is this something I need to design / build myself?
The concept I would think would be simple, braced L bracket, thread inserts, threaded rod, and a star knob quite likely epoxied in to keep it from backing off... Or drilled and set screwed...
I'd like to not just keep the cabinet from rolling off, but also want to be able to level it, and the tool up...
