I like this idea! Maybe I'll try that one

These are the people that I bought my levelling feet from. My experience with them was positive. They ship quickly and the price is fair. They have a good website with many different sizes and types to choose from. They even have dimensional drawings of the feet. I'd show you mine but they are already under my mill. :lol:

Looked at the bottom of my base...there isn't anything that I can thread leveling feet into. But I think I have about 4 spare bricks in the backyard.

Your base should have brackets that threaded rods or bolts would go through when traffic crews would have bolted it to the ground. They would be inside the base near the bottom. If you put the threaded part of the leveling foot through the bracket/mount and put nuts both above and below to hold the feet to the mount, you might be able to use them.
