Fonctionne très bien pour le deplacement d'outils dans un garage. Bonne dimension des roues et très stable. Solide et efficace.

This cart is sturdy, simple, and does the job better than I expected. It is true that the directions aren't very good, but it just isn't that complicated so if you have any semblance of mechanical ability you won't have too much trouble. I'm using it on a table saw and the weight isn't near the listed load capacity, but it carries the weight with no issues.

For the price this thing is a great option to be able to move your stationary tools around the shop. It’s built very well and super adjustable to fit almost any size tool base.

This base works very well. It rolls very easily, despite the wheels not having ball/roller bearings. It lifts and lowers easily. I have mine on an old Delta contractors table saw that weighs 200-300 pounds. It fit the saw base perfectly. I wish that there was an option to allow all 4 wheels to pivot 360 degrees. This would make it more maneuverable for my small shop. 2 wheels are stationary and 2 pivot. It was a little bit of a pain to assemble, but once I got the hang of what they wanted to me to do along with the way I could make it fit my saw base, it went together well, and so far solidly.

Good quality material . Took long that I thought to put together but well worth it.

This mobile base works well with my Delta 14" bandsaw. Adjustments work fine, and the only real issue is the bolts through the frame mean you can't adjust it quite as small as you'd like to perfectly match the dimensions of the base. It means that the saw is able to slide around a bit on the base. This was easy to fix by adding a couple of easily cut wood shims that just drop in to take up the extra space and clear the bolts.Another minor issue mentioned by another reviewer is that the welds on the lift levers are not well made, and leave bumps right in the are where they need to ride smoothly against the brackets to lift and lower the base. A few minutes with a grinder, and that is taken care of. But it really shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.The base seems perfectly capable of handling the weight of this saw, and with proper adjustments, it moves around easily and smoothly, and yet is held firmly in place for use when you "set the brakes".All in all, for the price, it's well worth it, and a quite reasonable alternative to some of the others costing much more.

I had ordered this WEN MB500 to use under my jointer. The jointer weighs probably 200-250lbs. However when I placed the order it was out of stock, so Amazon gave me the "we'll send you an email when we know when it will ship" notice. I wasn't in a big hurry, and this was the cheapest mobile base in this class on Amazon, so I figured I could wait a couple days. Well, a couple days turned in to a couple weeks and by the time I finally I received it, I had acquired another base for the jointer and ended up using this one on my planer instead. The planer only weighs maybe 150lbs.Now that it's here I am happy with the investment though. To start, this is an all-steel construction with the exception of the wheels and some spacers. It comes with 4 long rails, 4 short rails, two fixed wheel corners, two lift wheel corners, and enough bolts to give a lot of flexibility on how to put it together. I like it better than the ones that just bolt to a sheet of plywood that you have to cut to the proper size, although you could certainly add plywood to this one too if you wanted. That makes for a lot of flexibility and allows using it for different tools in the future should you decide to trade up.In my case I needed a 21x26" base. 26" is about the longest span the long rails can manage by themselves, and it only allows two adjacent holes to be used, which seemed like it wasn't an ideal situation if you had something really heavy on it. I ended up adding the short rails and a couple washers as reinforcement, partly for strength, but mostly for storage of the parts in case I decided to use it on something else some day. If I needed to go any longer, then I would have needed to use a combination of long and short rails joined together to get more length.The lift arms seem sturdy. I added some grease to the mating surfaces during assembly to make sure they operate smoothly. They seem to stay in the raised position ok, but it's not quite as positive a lock as you might like. One of them kind of "snaps" in to the raised position, but I think that's mainly because there is a little lump in the weld that works as kind of a detent. The other one is a little less positive feeling and seems like it could easily get knocked down if you kicked it while moving. It never released on me, so hopefully it will continue to hold firm and I'm just being paranoid. Since my tool wasn't that heavy, I also stood on the end with the levers and even with the combined weight of the planer and I (> 300lbs) they operated easily. With my weight centered over the lever end, the actual weight being lifted was probably comparable to what it would be with a 500lb machine with it's weight spread more evenly.If I could give 4 1/2 stars I might knock off a half star for the "feel" of the levers, but really it's being kind of nit-picky since they haven't actually failed to hold yet. If they do, I may come back and update my review, but for now I am quite pleased.When you factor in that this is about the cheapest "tool class" mobile base on Amazon, I think it was a great buy.
