This is a great item. I had no problem assembling it with only a couple of glances at the instructions. I am using it under my 270 pound table saw. With as small a shop that I have, being able to move saws, sanders and shapers, etc around is a necessity. This mobile base has made mobility a non-issue. BUY IT!

For the price these things are a great value. Easy to adjust to whatever base you need and put together. It moves fairly well, has some issues on my terrible basement concrete floor but anything would in the bad spots. On flat areas it can move very smoothly and easily, and is build nice and solid.

I have struggled for years with a table saw in my small woodshop. I’ve always struggled to drag it across the floor into position.This rolling system fixed all of that. Easy to assemble and rock solid. Now I can easily move the saw safely and quickly.Highly recommended.

Takes a little time to assemble as I have bought two. Does a great job for manoeuvring my bandsaw and tablesaw around the workshop, freeing up space

This was pretty easy to assemble (if you follow the directions). The directions could be better since there are no illustrations of the particular screws, nuts, etc. only part #s. And one of the holes for the leveling feet was too small so I had to make it bigger to screw the foot in. Other than that, I really like it. It's sturdy, and makes moving our Ryobi RTS12 table saw from it's parking place in the garage an easy task. It works perfectly. So happy to have this!

I was so tired of man handling our job mate bench that has our compound mitre saw attached, to move. When I saw this rolling base I was excited. I must say I was disappointed in the instructions for the assembly, hence the low scoring. It is nice to have a list of the parts, showing the counts of the items, the names and the sizes of the bolts, these did not. These instructions were very vague and frankly hard to follow. It wasn't until I went on YouTube to watch a video that it all seemed to make better sense. I must say I like how the base is very adjustable to almost any size. The wheels roll nicely and it is very sturdy. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it for sure.

Basically, I think this is a well made base. Though I haven't actually put weight on it yet. I can't say whether it's up to its 400 lb capacity. I think its weakest part will be the swiveling casters. They have to handle a good bit of leverage when you're using the cam levers to lower the base off the casters onto the fixed supports. They knew that though and the caster bolts are 10mm - vs all the others being 6mm.The instructions and parts are confusing though. For example, one of the front wheel assembly pivot bolts is referred to as an m6-57 and also as an m6-6. So 6cm = 57mm I guess?? The parts counts in the manual do not match with the parts in the box. The bolt/nut counts just don't add up. FORTUNATELY there were just (exactly) enough parts to make a sensible assembly of the thing. It would have been nice if they included a few extra because you could make this thing stronger with a few more m6 10mm nuts and bolts. The worst part of the instructions is for the rear (fixed angle) wheels. Not the casters. The diagram does not make it clear where the plastic bushings are supposed to go. It only shows 2 of them in the assembly - though four are provided. And it's not clear where they would have any function.The manual also says to be careful not to tighten those bolts too much or else the wheels won't spin freely. If you assemble the thing as pictured on the box, there is no possible way to tighten those bolts in a way that will tighten the wheels. The wheels are free spinning inside the rear rectangles. So ?? And, as far as I can see , the bushings serve no function at all no matter where you put them. So ?.This has a 400 lb rating. Is that if you assemble it at the maximum spec'd size? Or is that if you assemble at the minimum (where the bars and corners have maximum overlap.?? If so, what's the rating at maximum size? You might buy this and have a safety issue if that's not stated and it is less than 400.

This mobile base has made moving my table saw around a dream. I share my tool space with my home gym, so I need to "park" my table saw when not in use. I was previously using a pair of side-mounted casters, which, although better than nothing, was a total pain to move and maneuver, making me not want to pull the saw out unless I had to. Having the entire unit on wheels has been a game changer.It is solid, and easy to adjust. Once the cams are released to lower the base off the front wheels, it is very sturdy. The instructions weren't the most thorough, but I suspect that anybody who's putting wheels on their large power tools will do just fine.Having all 4 wheel swivel would increase the maneuverability, as the two fixed wheels sometimes require an extra push/pull to get my saw exactly where I want it—not a huge deal. My saw is relatively light, at only ~100 lbs, and the cams lift it without any problem. But they are only aluminum, and look like they could be a potential weak spot. There is no intermediary surface for the cam to ride on, so it's metal on metal (well, aluminum on paint, until it wears away after the first couple lifts). So not sure how long this would stand up to repeated daily use. It's not an issue for me.Overall, a great product, at a good price.

Strong and reliable. I am putting my washer on it and it holds it place like rock (with full load). Very easy to assemble (less than 30 mins). Wheels make it easy for you to move your heavy loads.

I just purchased and assembled two of these. I found them to be relatively easy to assemble and install in about an hour each. They work for me. I'd buy another at this price.Some Notes:o Units were complete with no missing or broken parts. Design and construction are basic.o The self-locking nuts were 10mm. The rest of the HW is 1/4-20 with 7/16" nuts, excepting the 9/16" swivel caster nuts.o Casters swiveled fine on my table (~150lbs) & chop (~70lbs) saw stands. The swivels are ball-bearing. The casters are 3" diameter hard rubber, no bearing.o Levers are aluminum extrusions with fairly sharp edges. They can be reversed from the pix to go to the inside. There is a dab of lube where the levers contact the caster mounts. I added a thin flat washer between the arm and body for the arm to pivot on.o Side channels are two-piece "C" shaped ~ 1.5" x 0.25" with holes every inch. The holes in the longer channels are oval, and so allow about 1/2" of slop in the size. Remeasure before you tighten up.o There is some slop in the assembly, so you'll want to assemble and lock down on a flat surface.o Using the inside opening dimensions, I found I didn't have to "add an inch" as directed.Bottom line: They work for my tools and weekender use. I would ponder before getting one for daily use or at the limits of stated capacity for size and weight.
