Good quality, front caster foot lever is bigger than it looks |
I actually bought this base to attach to a piece of machinery that fits in a closet. The base hardware (angle brackets, wheels) are solid, and if you use a hard wood like oak for the 2x2 sides, the whole thing is solid as a rock.
However, the foot pedal sticks out several inches, and it actually got in my way a bit. In addition, if you are like me and wanted to store something in a closet out of the way, you need at least 8-12" of extra space to accommodate the petal. I'm sure the petal is not a problem for most people, just something to keep in mind. |

not bad, not great, but better than ok |
This stand is, all in all, pretty good. I have it underneath my bandsaw, which is a somewhat heavy tool. When I step on the pedal and lift the stand onto the three wheels, it's rather top heavy and tippy when I roll it around. I think the three wheel design might be better for a shorter tool with a lower center of gravity, like a jointer perhaps.
The assembly is easy enough and I've had no problems with quality of the stand so I have nothing to say in that regard.
Under a lighter/shorter tool I think this stand would be great.

OK stand - missing parts |

I got this for my delta shopmaster table saw which has a base diameter of 26x28. The base once constructed is solid and stable with the hardwood (used Oak). Remember - the price does not include the wood - which is about $20 more. Mine was missing 6 lag bolts from the HW bag. Shotty QA before shipping I guess. Frustrating - I had to run out and buy them in the middle of construction (I wasn't about to return the thing for that). This is a good base, but not the best one in my opinion. With only the one wheel it is a bit clumsy. I got the HTC2000 for my grizz bs which moves around a lot better. Plus the construction time was half since I didn't need to drill 20 holes with the drill press. My HTC2000 has a much smaller footprint though with the bs so not sure how that would hold up on something as big as what I am using this delta base for. Total cost is cheaper for the HTC though ($60 for the HTC, versus this one which is total cost of about $85 - base is $60 here, wood is $20, and extra bolts are $2 ;-) |

very nice base |

This is my second base. I may get a third base, and maybe even a home plate they're so good!! |

Great Option |

This mobile base makes moving my Delta saw so easy it should be outlawed. Seriously, all you have to do is step on the pedal to lift the saw & push or pull it anywhere you want it to be. As long as your floor is smooth you can move the saw with one hand. I have a Delta tablesaw with a cast iron top and wings and without this little jewel, I would need two men to wrestle it around my shop. |
