Not one but two noob questions: computer and "wheels"

When I get around to it I plan to do a rolling base with leveling feet.

@TortillaMan has done it. Lots of different examples of rolling bases in this thread.

Wheels on crossfire pro

Hey Nicholas, There is a reason that the CrossFire includes casters whereas the PRO includes stationary leveling feet; due to the CrossFire PRO machine’s weight, there is too much tension while moving the table when using casters directly inside of the leg tubes. The tension causes the inserts in the leg tubes to pop out, resulting in the PRO machine tilting over and dumping the entire contents of the water table. Additionally, the larger cutting surface of the CrossFire PRO is more difficult t…

Here’s what I did, if you want to gather some ideas…

Casters, levelling feet and 3 shelves underneath for sheet material storage.
Original legs slide into 2.5" square tubing to lock them in place. The substructure makes it insanely rigid compared to the original design.

Here is what I had planned to do.

This is what I plan to do.

2 inch square tubing for the frame
L3x3x3/16x0,3" with a custom base plate for the legs outfitted with the original leveling feet.

I also plan to install some threaded rod with leveling feet. This will serve two functions level the table quickly and unload the caster wheels when not in motion to keep them from getting a flat spot… I guess I could just use steel casters and simplify it a bit… but I struggle with simple.

Attached is a quick sketch to give you an idea… not the final design. I haven’t decided on the base plate thickness or configuration yet. Still playing with it.

As far as the computer I would look at the Langmuir sheet posted on the website for comparable computer requirements and get one that meets their criteria.
