Perfect cart for glowforge!

Awesome thanks. I will probably get 2 of these then.

Thought I should also throw my 2 cents in here as I referenced this page a lot when I was looking at potential carts. I ended up going with the Husky mobile work bench. The top drawer is the perfect dimensions to fit 2 full size proofgrade sheets side by side and the cart as a whole is very sturdy with a built in handle to boot.

Great topic, yeah now that we have this heavy beast what do we put it on… I had ours on a 4ft colaspsable table but I use that for shows so I got this at Costco and it’s great for a tall guy and the metal frame and large lockable casters will be great to access pass Thru slot if needed.

Yet another “Perfect cart for glowforge”. Sturdy, inexpensive, flat top exactly the right size to support the Glowforge. Won’t rust, with shelves for supplies/hose and locking wheels. The Luxor EC222-G Cart (3 Flat Shelves, 18" x 32", Gray) is just under $100 from Amazon with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NHTU8I0/

I’m just wondering if you are storing your GF on top of this? Or are you just using for storage of PG materials?

I wondering how you felt about this once the GF was on it. Also, how hard was it to put together?

No, the drawers are not nearly large or sturdy enough (the casters do not have brakes). I store mine on the Seville work table https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074WL437T/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which these drawers fit very nicely beneath.

It is great. Very sturdy and I love being able to keep a few tools in the drawer. It was not hard to assemble.

I’m happy with it - it was easy-ish to put together. The only slight tricky bit was some of the holes for the legs was slightly out of alignment, so some force was required to put the last screw in

Its an incredibly tough/strong/heavy cart. I think its a good match for the GF.

Its slightly narrower then the GF but the GF feet are fully supported by it.

My only request/complaint is that I would have liked it a bit shorter.

Here is an updated picture with the GF on the cart:

Did you decide to get that cart? I saw one like it on eBay that is similar, and thinking about getting. I am not a Costco member.

No. I haven’t gotten anything yet. I just have it on my desk.

I just reread this entire thread. Has anyone actually used the FLYTTA cart from Ikea (or similar stainless steel type cart)? I saw that I can get it for around $188 or so shipped. I see some conflicting information in this thread. Some say it’s perfect, others say it would wobble too much. Just hoping someone that has one could chime in and give some feedback. I definitely don’t want to spend $300+ on the home depot cart, though it looks nice. I am half tempted to make one out of 2x4’s and some casters, but the cost of the casters is significant. My cart will go in the basement, so one of those 200 lb drawer carts isn’t a good option.

I still say go with this one. I and several others have it and it works fantastically well. 199 with free shipping on amazon if you have Prime.

Thanks, I saw that one. It does look pretty nice, but it’s about 10 inches wider. I was hoping to stay around 36-38" because I’m putting it in a space that is around that size.

I ended up getting a similar cart to the FLYTTA as suggested here. I went with Amazon though, so it wasn’t the same cart. It’s a “Seville Classics” stainless steel cart. @alicedebodesigns had mentioned the wood version of this, but I wanted something that would match my work space a little better so I went with stainless.

Here is the cart: Amazon.com

I also got an extra shelf and the casters.

It feels pretty sturdy and I think it will work out fine. I’m still in the process of moving it to a new location (picture below) but I will report back when I do some more testing to make sure it is sturdy enough. I definitely like the extra room and shelf storage. I am also thinking about getting a couple of baskets to put on the bottom shelf for smaller items like the wipes, cleaning supplies, etc.

I’ve been cutting and engraving on my Stainless Steel cart now for almost a week. It has been working very well. I was initially a little concerned about some very small/potential wobble, but I don’t notice it and there are no issues in what I have cut or engraved.
