Does anyone know where I can purchase a mobile base for the 12" Compound Miter Saw (MS1250LZ)?

Most Home Depots carry the Hurc-U-Lift system, which will fit the stand. A much cheaper alternative would be to make a 3/4" plywood platform 1.5" larger than the legset footprint. Add a 3/4" thick by 1" high retainer around the top perimeter, then add 4 swivel casters that lock. I have made several of this type of mobile base for the lighter weight machines, and works well.

WalMart carries a color of paint that matches the Ridgid grey almost impossable to detect a differaton in color for $11 if you so desire to be satisfied. I have not desired to match the new orange color, but I'm sure it can be done.

Email me for the color code of the grey if desired.
