I think it is branded Shop Fox. With a couple inches of plywood between the mobile base and the machine it''s been working pretty well. I”m using the base that Grizzly sells and recommends.

Anyway, I was wondering what you used for your mobile base and wheels.

That plus a bandsaw, belt sander and polishing wheel and a helper you can make alot of bikes. Looks great.

I don''t need two of them! I think the mini-mill and mini-lathe were great learning tools and they work nicely for smaller projects. I''m glad that I started with them, but also happy that I''ve upgraded to larger tools. Jim — It’’s on craigslist. I don”t need two of them!
