“I have this set under two jointers (4" and 6"), a 14" bandsaw and my midi lathe workstation. I like them well enough that I just bought two more for other tools in my part-time wood shop - garage. They roll and turn well enough on the cement floor, hold everything without sagging and are quite stable when set in place. Obviously, being able to perfectly fit the base of your tool is a great feature! My only quibble is, like others said, that floor clearance could/should be more, as it has a tendency to scrape and drag on uneven surfaces.”

“Put 10” lathe on a stand on the finished 3/4” base. The turns are not as smooth as the last base kit I bought about 15 years ago. Quality of wheels cheaper. Platform drags and requires more effort to move but keeping it since I had already put it together and I don’t need to move lathe far.”

“I like the mobile base. It works awesome with 3/4 plywood. I built 2 for the bandsaw and lathe. Plywood gave me storage under my tools.”

“After reading some of the negative reviews, I was a little skeptic about this base. Since it was on sale, I thought I would take a chance. I used 3/4â€”

“The cam action is so minute, you have to literally set the base leg screws as low as possible so the cam will lift the base leg screws and then use the wheels. If you do that, then forget about the base being close to level. If you try to keep the base close to level, then when you go from 'wheel' mode to leg base mode, the machine won't hardly move and the wheels may be, in fact, still taking some of the weight. Worse, if you engage the wheels and move the machine, the clearance for the leg screws is not enough, they drag on the floor if your concrete is even in the slightest raised, and you end up just lifting half the machine and pushing it around. Did I say I hate this product? Yep!”

“Junk, poor workmanship. Holes don't line up well enough to put it together. Took it back.”

“Bought one of these bases for my Rikon 10-324 on Friday, built it and installed my bandsaw on it on Saturday, it broke on Sunday. The weld where the foot attaches broke, not happy to be forced to move the saw off it to return it.”

“I ran out of room in my workshop. I put the band saw and lathe table in front of the overhead door. Moving them was a pain. These kits are the perfect solution. Easy to assemble. (I used 3/4â€”
