I got this to go with a Jet jjp-12 jointer planer for my small shop. The shop has a very uneven floor and other mobile bases were both flimsier and much more likely to bottom out. This is simply amazing in how well it works with the 530 pound jointer/planer.

I was amazed how easily I could push around my Delta Unisaw (vintage 1976, 400+ Lbs) on the rough concrete floor of my shop. I just bought another one for the 17" bandsaw and now we'll see how it does with about 600 Lbs. on it. Based on what I have experienced so far, I would say no problems. Simplicity in design, large wheels, fit, finish, and overall quality are all excellent. You get what you pay for. Far better that the Shop Fox bases I have been using.

I have to admit I was skeptical about buying such an expensive base, but I can now say it was definitely worth it! I installed this on my Craftsman contractor saw and it really does make moving the saw almost effortless. I have a basement shop and the floor is less than perfect, the house itself is 100 plus years old and the floor has its issues. The stand rolls right over the imperfections with no problem. I am one of those people that wasted money on several other mobile bases before getting this one. Each of them was less than perfect to say the least, and the idea of lifting my saw by the fence rails every time I need to move it just seemed ridiculous. None of that with this stand, just unlock the wheels and roll the saw in place. And when I’m done, roll it back to the corner out of the way. If I add up the money I wasted on other stands and had just bought this model first, I would have saved money.

One of the best mobile bases I've seen in a long time. Well worth the money. Here's a bit of advice to save you time and trouble- if you need to purchase the extension kits to accommodate a larger machine you should do so. I thought I could use my own steel to accomplish that task and it wasn't the same thing and I ended up purchasing extensions from Rockler. While they may look like just plain flat steel they are in reality hardened and rolled with just a slight curvature that makes them stiffer.

I just purchased and very large/heavy Jet band saw. I don't have a large workshop area and know, at times, I will have to move it out of it's parking spot for cuts on larger stock. I spotted the Rockler All-Terrain Mobile Base and was instantly interested. 'All terrain'?, could I take my saw 'off roading' ? Looking at the size of the wheels, probably could. The nice feature is they are are on brackets which keep the base frame close to the floor for great stability. Off to my local dealer to get one. My base is now together and the saw is on it. The whole rig moves with finger pressure when I want it too thanks to those wheels and holds in place with the wheel locks 'on'. I have other bases from the past under other equipment in my shop, but this is definitely the best ! Assembly went fairly easily. IF I wanted to nit-pick, just a few minor items. There are no assembly sheets, assembly is supposed to be intuitive, but for those like me who have moments of mental density: Inside the box are 4 wheel/frame assemblies and 4 extension bars drilled with holes to match up with holes in the wheel frames, and a poly bag of nuts, bolts and lock washers. It's simply a matter of matching up the appropriate holes to get the dimensions you want for the base. At first I was placing the extension bars along side the wheel frames but the bolts wern't long enough to make it through. Then I noticed that the wheel frames are bent to form 'tunnels', inside which the extension bars slide. Would have been nice if something pointed that out in the beginning. So now the bolts were long enough, or were they? With the lock washer and nut both on and tightened, the bolt made it only half way through the nut, holding on by just a couple of threads. Could forget the lock washers I suppose. The other issue has to do with EVERYTHING I have put together made in China. When other countries produce nuts and bolts, the threads at the end of the bolt taper in slightly before ending. This makes getting the nut lined up and started properly with out cross-threading far easier. But not the Chinese, their threads just end which makes getting the nuts started on the bolts a challenge at best. Maybe someone will tell them. And you better be well-equipt with a good set of open end/box end/ratchet/ allen wrenches to put their stuff together. One suggestion. I put the FRONT of my saw on the end of the base with the fixed/non-castoring wheels. This provides better lateral stability and easier access to the wheel locks. Unfortunately, when rollong the base, the wheel locks on the castoring wheels face the 'outside' on one wheel but are hidden on the 'inside' on the other, making it difficult to get both brakes 'on' at the same time. So I keep them behind the saw. Even with these minor failings, I still give this mobile base highest marks, it's performance is great !

I've got a Grizzly G0690 table saw on this 500 pounds and I can roll it around with one finger. All four wheels lock down securely and when locked, the saw is as stable as if it were sitting on the floor. There's a reason this mobile base is the most expensive one out there and it's worth every penny. Construction is robust. The steel is thick, welds are well-finished and the wheels are beefy with positive locking mechanisms. But it's not perfect out of the box. After about $8 in parts, the stand is perfect! read on. The only negative comment I have is on the included machine screws used to assemble the base! they are too short. When properly assembled with the lockwasher and flat washer, the included 5mm pretty sure they are 5mm 3/4" long screws aren't long enough for the nuts to fully thread on. Only about half the nut makes it onto the threads. When you're putting 300+ pounds onto this mobile base, this is a major concern. The reason the manufacturer used this screw length was so that if you assemble the base to "look pretty" with the heads of the screws facing out, the screws/nuts don't protrude too far inside the base, taking room away from whatever machine you're going to put in there. Being that the base adjusts from 18" to 28" square there's plenty of extra room for 99% of the folks out there. A quick trip to my local big-box home improvement store and I bought 1/4" diameter, 1" long Grade 8 machine screws, lock/flat washers and nuts. Total cost about $8. The 1/4" diameter even fits a little better than the included screws and the additional 1/4" length allows the nuts to fully thread on. I don't know what grade the included hardware is they aren't stamped with any markings but with the shear force of 500+ pounds, I only trust Grade 8 hardware. Haven't read about any hardware failures with the stock screws, but I don't take chances. Especially not when $8 worth of insurance is so cheap and easy. Can't recommend this base enough. It is all that and a bag of chips.
