This works great. It is used under my table saw and allows me to move it out when in use and tuck it out of the way when I need to.
This was just what my husband was looking for. But they do move and that is what he wanted. Only problem is it is a little saw heavy, so the wheels by the table saw do not like to move very well.
All reviewers - could you please post some pictures of your saw and the mobile base. Would help a lot to see how it all fits in.
Unit flexes at the point where extension joins the main base. I don't trust this base and am now looking at a replacement (HTC/made in the US). This leads to an unstable and potentially dangerous operation of saw and router. I noticed that Delta produces this unit in China (no intentions to bash China) and it is likely that inferior (soft) steel was used, or at minimum a gauge of steel that is inappropriately thin for this application.
It was just another little annoyance for a simple mobile base.I have moved the saw around the shop using the new base and it is pretty easy to use. This is one of those accessories that I waited too long to purchase. On the lower base of the saw, there is an opening for a dust port. The back of the base covers up about half the opening. So again, I had to make a modification. I have an older Delta / Rockwell Unisaw and it weighs too much to try to move without some kind of wheels.
The mobile base was simple and quick to put together.If you too have an older unisaw, I want to point out a few problems I ran into, just in case you have the same issues. When you install the saw onto the mobile base, this port is no longer available to use. I had to take the shelf off and cut it, so there was room for the handle to come up and totally lower the wheel. The angle in which the handle was welded was high and hit the oak shelf I had on the bottom of my saw. The product was long overdue to buy. I had to make a cover and seal it up.
Great product to help make another tool mobile in my shop. Then I had to cut a new hole higher on the saw and create a additional opening for the 4" dust hose.The 2nd problem was the middle push down for raising the wheel.
