This sturdy, affordable mobile base hardware allows you to build a base of any size by adding wood stretchers in whatever length you need. This adds up to big cost savings, especially when compared to large mobile bases that are ready-made.

My husband chose this as one of his Christmas presents.
Karen K B on Dec 18, 2016
This was purchased to hold my table saw. I had some thick pieces of lumber and ripped them to go into this base. Now the table saw is mobile (I work out of my garage) and can easily be pulled out for working and pushed back when I'm done.
The piece of wood at the front under the kick down wheel was too flexible and ended up with the rubber feet dragging when rolling. I bought a piece of flat iron, drilled 2 holes, cut 3/8" off the piece of wood and remounted. The steel helps support the saw.

I've been looking for a low profile mobile base for my table saw. This item appears to provide the best combination of low profile, to minimize the increase in height, and stability so the saw won't move when in use.

What are the dimensions of the wheel?
Jessica O on Nov 20, 2015
Rockler Power Tool Mobile Base Hardware

Caster Only for Mobile Base
Caster Only for Mobile Base
BEST ANSWER: I believe it's around 3 inches. Surely, Rockler can provide a definitive answer. One point: My table saw has two feet at the back that require the front to be raised a couple of inches in order to lower their wheels to the floor. This caster didn't quite make it, so I modified it to increase the lift. Unless you can verify that you won't have a similar problem, or have machine tools that can do the heavy duty modifications, better look at a different product.
The base of my Jet Jointer has small tabs at the front and back in the middle of the bottom of the cabinet (for bolting the tool to the floor). Will these interfere with the jointer sitting on this mobile base?
A shopper on May 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: That will depend on how far out the tabs extend beyond the basic outline of the base on the jointer. If the outline of the base is such that it can sit on the flats at each corner of the base where the casters are and still accommodate the tabs, I see no reason why it should not work.

Depending on the type of wood used for the wooden extensions between the base corners, it may also be possible to relieve the wooden extension pieces to allow the tabs to sit down into the wooden rails and still have enough strength in the base.

Another option is to have the extension pieces between the corner pieces where the casters are made from square steel tube cut to allow the tabs to sit flush.

I see lots of ways to make this work....................................

what is the minimum dimension base can be made (L at side rail x W at front swivel)?
H S on Jan 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The corner brackets are about 8" long in each direction. If they were butted together at the sides, the minimum dimension would be about 16" The front swivel bracket is about 3" wide so the minimum dimension across the front where the swivel is could be 19" +/-. The swivel assembly sticks out from the front about 8" if that is an issue.......................

With a narrow base, the stability of what is mounted to it has to be considered. Tall things can get top heavy on narrow bases, especially when they are moved.

Where can I buy the 1.5 x 1.5 inch hardwood stretchers needed to use this product? I've looked on Rockler - and not there. Do you have suggestions?
John M on Jan 28, 2017
BEST ANSWER: i buy my material from my local hardwood suppiier . i am in the st.louis area so i go to st.charles hardwoods in st. peters or fenton mo. for my stand i used 8/4 maple .i buy a piece wide enough to get 4 pieces for the frame.if you have a table saw the rest is easy, h i hope this helps Norm.
Does this mobile base hardware include the caster? Or must I buy the caster separately? Thanks!
David S on Jul 9, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes all wheels included. The only thing you supply is the wood. I have two of these, one on my jointer and one on my bandsaw.
Will this work for a Delta cabinet makers saw?
A shopper on May 25, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It really depends on the weight of the tool. I have this stand and used pcs. of oak for the rails as the saw probably 60-70 lbs. I also have the hd stand for my delta planer. Probably 200 lbs+\-. So weight of tools determines what portable stand. Hd stand has bigger/ nicer wheels.
I have a DeWalt table saw with a stand that has 4 1" square tubular legs at a 45 degree angle to the floor. Will this saw work with this platform?
Harold R on Nov 25, 2016
BEST ANSWER: yes first measure the width of the saw table legs at the bottom , then make the legs on the mobile stand that length , just remember the table legs set inside the mobile base.
How steep is the angle when you press the lifter? I want to use this on a table saw with a 52" extension table (SawStop Professional). The SawStop integrated mobile base says it will move the entire assembly, but I wonder whether this design will cause the extension table legs to rub against the floor.
NotHandyMan on Apr 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I have this base on a Jet table saw. With a level spanning across the table top (wing to wing) there is very little difference in the angle of the table top with the lifting device up or down. I could not measure even a degree of difference between the two with one of those magnetic based protractor/angle finders.

The problem of dragging the extension table legs may be more of a problem with the floor itself. I find that even though the floor appears flat, there are places that the feet on the base will scuff as I move the saw around. This is an adjustment issue that will depend on how you set the base up.

Disappointed in the quality. Although it appears very substantial, the bends were not perpendicular (90 deg)causing the wood to twist. Also the one caster lift was not suitable for constant movement of my table saw. I returned the unit.
November 20, 2007
Not a real good setup
Pros: once assembled it seems pretty steady and holds my Jet Floor model Drill Press and Jet 14" Band saw. Once you get it moving it rolls pretty smoothly and turns fairly easily. The operative word here is ONCE. CONS: putting it together. Here is the biggest CON: reversing direction. The expletive deleted swivel wheel leaves a whole lot to be desired, I have almost tipped over my drill press on several occasions while trying to reverse direction, the swivel wheel will NOT swivel with out getting down on your knees and moving it by hand 180 degrees, once repositioned the unit moves smoothly until the next reverse direction. You may be surprised how many times you have to reverse direction when trying to get the unit into a tight spot and have to maneuver it. You would be far better off to make your own detachable dolly and toss the swivel mechanism. Or, buy a better unit. Bottom line, If you can put up with the recalcitrant swivel wheel this unit will work for you. If you have to move it a lot, get a better unit.

I purchased one to put under my planer...it worked so well, I purchased a second one for my joiner...that worked so well, I purchased one for my bandsaw...and that work so well that my fourth one just came to put under my drill press and they all stack away from the middle of the floor. These are easy to install and work very well, I recommend them to anyone.
May 13, 2012
Although the instructions call for 1.5"...
Although the instructions call for 1.5" lumber, as others have pointed out the brackets are 1.6" wide. A simple solution to this is to use 1.5" square aluminum tubing (about $1.50/ft) rather than wood, and a 1/2" washer as a shim to take up the extra 0.1". The result is very light and very rigid. Other than that assemble them exactly as the instructions say, including drilling 7/16" holes and they will go together easily and work very well.

Bought this mobile unit for my...
Bought this mobile unit for my 430 lb table saw. After studying the mechanics of the lift, I realized I only need hardwood on the side where the lifting is taking place. To better leverage the strength of the hardwood, I put the lift on the shorter side of the rectangle cabinet base. I used straight pine for the other three sides. Since I have to rip them down from 2 x 4, I planed them to fit snug, just a tad wider than 1.5". I followed the suggestions and drilled 3/8 holes for the bolts. Since my drill press is broken, I eye-balled it with a hand drill. I had to enlarge a couple of them to fit the bolts through. I had to adjust the mobile base's legs as well as the table saw's leveling legs to make sure the saw is level with the ground. A couple of dabs of grease in the lift mechanism to make sure the lift runs smoothly also helped. Good solid product.

Manufacturing defect
When assembled as shown, the foot lever (part #013) did not make contact with the caster assembly (part #001). This means the mobile base did not raise off the floor, and will not move. I had to drill another set of holes in the pivot bracket (part #15) to lower the foot lever pin (part #12). This allowed the foot lever to make contact with the caster assembly, thereby raising the base for movement. For the price, such manufacturing defects should have been address prior to sale of the product.

Works just as advertised
I put my mobile base on my radial arm saw and it worked just as I had hoped. My shop is smaller and I need all the room I can get, with this I can wheel the larger saw to a corner out of the way easily and work on other items until it is needed again. The suggestion on one of the other reviews about turning the foot release to the inside is right on. This keeps you from kicking it by accident possibly messing up a cut or dinging up you shin. Absolutely recommend.

Great set of wheels
After playing with the pieces it was pretty simple to put together. I like the fact that two wheels are stationery. A little oil every so often and we're good to go
