Shop Fox - Universal Mobile-Base D2057
The Shop Fox univeral mobile base can carry up to 600 lb. It can adjust to fit most free-standing power tools.Mobile bases offer the convenience of being able to relocate machinery easily, allowing woodworkers to use shop space efficiently. The foremost requirement for a mobile base is that it be strong and stable. It must not buckle under the weight of a machine, and it must not wobble while the machine is in use. It is an added benefit if it transports a machine with ease and if its handles and foot levers are easy to see and to use.
I tested seven mobile machine bases, both dedicated and universal, to move a couple of bandsaws around the shop. They ranged in price from $50 to $100 and offered a good cross section of what is available. The Shop Fox universal base was not intuitive to lock and unlock, but once locked in place, it was a stout unit that provided a stable platform for a machine.
