Has anybody tried assembling Delta's Universal Mobile Base using regular dimensional lumber ripped to size? I DAGS and couldn't seem to find any examples--which is probably no accident. I'm running a Delta CS with cast-iron extension tables. I'm not specifically opposed to using hardwood, but it doesn't seem necessary with the machine's weight concentrated close to the wheels. I get the impression that the wood frame serves more of an alignment function rather than load-bearing.
Thoughts?
