Would it be possible to mount glides or casters to the base?

I have mine on carpet and wanted to put some kind of slider under it. However, I found it too heavy (even empty!) to move easily since the unit spins but the bottom doesnʻt. So I left it as is. To move it, I empty it and then slowly push it using the base.

Personally I wouldn't put it on casters ot it. I would be apt to use furniture pad movers that can be purchased at most home and hardware stores. To me this wold be the best as the base is too small for casters and may tip easily if too much weight s on one side or catches the carper or passing over uneven floors.

Yes it could. But with casters becareful for tipping. I would be a little hesitant.

No, I haven't done this. It's pretty sturdy. Mine is filled with cds. Taking your time when turning it does the trick.

It might. I did toy with that idea but I opted to use them to make sure it looked finished. You might need a cap of some kind at the end to make sure it's slides smoothly and doesn't scratch the floor if you try it without the casters. (I didn't look to closely at the foot ends before I put the casters on so I can't remember how smooth the bottom was.)

Yes, you have to attach the casters to the base. I'm not sure how well it would work without them, but it's possible to leave them off.

These seats came with a set of sliders for each seat but no mounts. For your project I think that you would still have to attach it to a sturdy enough base. Depending on the thickness of the wood you might be able to fab something up. One thought though, these seats do not stand upright on their own, as they are rear and top heavy. Your base will have to be heavy enough and have enough of a surface foot print to stabilize the seat or else you'd fall backward. Sounds like a fun project though. Good luck!

Jet sells mobile bases for most of their cabinet machines. I would look into that rather than trying to rig casters on.

Yes, you'd just need to drill some holes in the base. You could then screw it to anything you wanted to.

Sorry I'm just now answering you. It does not look like you could attach anything else to the base.

I used them going same way (ie., one "upside down") to make a theatre set glide on and off stage, with the glides attached to the side of a platform. They worked flawlessly. They are quite heavy though, so beware of that.

You can probably mount a heavy duty caster that has a flat mounting plate. The bottom of the leg/nest holes is somewhat reinforced. However, mounting casters may lessen the weight capacity of the skid(unless you use 9 casters).

Not sure you can do that. the front to back feet are solid tubing with only plastic endcaps on them. Prob. would need to drill through and then not sure it would work. Why don't you try to find one that says it can have casters?

Yes, you can use casters that slips under the feet. I checked after I wrote that first.

The feet screw into the bottom so I would imagine if you can find wheels with the same screw size as the feet that it should be a fairly simple mod.

they have to be mounted the weight of the cam itself will tip the whole thing over. now you could screw the base down to a bookshelf if you would like.

The base of each area where the rolling casters are inserted are nearly flush/flat (tiny smooth round metal hole where caster inserts protrudes only ever so slightly), so glides may work well depending on how they are constructed. The diameter of this part, where you would attach a stationary glide instead, is 1.5" in diameter. You would need five glides. Note, the casters themselves add 2" to the height of the chair, so you may want to factor that in to ensure the chair will be high enough for you at highest setting. Hope that helps!

You cannot, there are no mounting holes for that. Even if you could though the base doesn't seem strong enough to handle that mounting mechanism.

I have seen them with wheels. Floats would be possible but a little weird. Just keep the CG where it says.

Not with out some modification. It would be steep and the base would not sit flat. Try to find longer slide would be the easy solution.
