Bought this mobile base for my 14" bandsaw as I have a small garage workshop. The base was easy to assemble and has made moving my bandsaw extremely easy. I will be buying a couple more for my scroll saw and table saw.

It works OK, I am using for a drill press. The base of your machine or added platform in my case is only supported in the corners which is OK. Problem is that because of slop in the rails the corner support areas will not be coplaner. The corner areas provide mounting holes for an added base. I built up a 1.5 inch plywood base and put lag bolts from the underneath to mount it. A potential problem is that the mobile base sits so low that the lag bolt heads are only about 1/4" off the floor. Finally, the cantilever wheels used to make the base move feel flimsy and don't sit absolutely perpendicular to the floor when extended which means they fight a little - won't rotate direction easily. One last issue is that the two wheels used to raise the base are lowered separately. I need both hands to lower one wheel so the base tips while I do the first wheel. The base works fine for me, I move my drill rarely and given how heavy it is this product is better than my shop made base. I would not use it on something I move more than once a week.

I bought this for my table saw, so I could more easily move it around the garage so my wife park her car in there also. The locking casters work well to keep it in one place, when unlocked, it's easy to move around

Although I have a big shop, 40x48, I like to move my tools around as needed to best utilize floorspace. Mobile bases allow me to quickly change from woodworking to vehicle/tractor maintenance. Love it.

This base with castors and locks is well made, nicely heavy (you want some weight under 400 pounds!) and solidly made. I was going to use it as a base for my motorcycle tire changer, but decided instead to use it as the base for a mechanics stool. Perfect for that job on a shop floor.
