Shopsmith Forums

Howdy has anybody found any aftermarket replacements for those rectangular wheeled bases shopsmith made in the 90s for standalone tools? Seems SS doesn’t make them now on the website

this scrollsaw will fit the normal casters but the balance isn’t right and they constantly work loose and then the legs sag.

It’s a nice looking unit I want to clean up the rusty feet from this issue and be done with the problem

Thanks! - Tyler

This tool stand from Harbor Freight is similar to the ones used for the gray standalone scroll saws. Unfortunately it has no top to mount the saw to, you'd have to put a sheet of plywood or something on it, and no casters or easy way to attach them. I used a similar stand they have to mount a DeWalt planer on. I put a sheet of plywood on top to mount the planer and another on the bottom to attach some casters. It is sturdy enough.

It's not clear if you have an SS Scroll Saw or not. My standalone SS Scroll Saw stand did not come with casters, just leveling feet. I replaced the feet with these 2" locking casters that have been working fine so far.

I think Harbor Freight makes these to go with their different metal stands. I don't know how well they work.

Unlike the other stand I used on the planer, the one I linked above does not have adjustable leg length. If you're adding additional length with casters that might matter to you.

Ok I am gonna add casters

I appreciate the help gentlemen!
