I was looking at putting the Glowforge Pro on a rolling tool chest with worktop (e.g. Kobalt, Craftsman), so that we can move the unit around when needing to use longer materials.
My only concern before buying the rolling bench. The width is fine, but the depth of the workbench is only 18" deep. Given that the unit is almost 21" deep, will this be an issue? Any other recommendations (trying not to spend more than $500 on the tool case). Thanks.
to be fair, if that 4" of exhaust sticking out the back hangs over the back edge, it’s no big deal. what you need is something that the feet of the GF comfortably sit on.
if it’s a cart on wheels, it’s not a huge deal. probably easier to get to things that fall behind the cart than to climb over the GF to get things that fell on the table shelf behind it.
I just bought a Husky at Home Depot last week that is 24" deep. I only have a Basic, but because it’s 24" deep, it means I can fit my wood in the drawers and get 3 “rows” of it per drawer. You may have to ask someone, as the 24" ones were in a different area of the store than the others.
that is the one I got. I also got an adjustable height desk/table to use as in infeed table because i have the Pro passthrough to contend with.
I really like the chest.
