Caution - the extension rails I received from Amazon were NOT the correct match for the updated FOX base - had to call FOX, and eventually buy the rails, at a much higher price, through Grizzly. A real disconnect by Amazon - unusual in my dealings with Amazon - and hopefully already fixed by Amazon.
When you order the D2058, the supplier will automatically send you the D2058A. I have now ordered the D2246A extension bars. I was told that I needed to order the D2246A 36" extension bars for the D2058A mobile base. I contacted tech support with Woodstock International to find out this information. The D2246 extension bars would not fit the Shop Fox D2058 mobile base.
It has been replaced by the D2058A. Unfortunately the D2246 36" extension bars will not fit the D2058A. They were listed on the instruction manual for the mobile base I received. I should receive them in a week to 10 days. Shop Fox no longer makes the D2058 mobile base.
They will fit the D2058, if you already have the older model. Hopefully this will be right this time.Amazon, you need to update your ordering information for the mobile base and extension bars so that customers know what they are actually ordering since the D2058 is no longer available. Many of the suppliers do not even know this information at this point or that the extension bars do not fit.
did not fit the shop fox mobil base I have extensions were avabile for my base when I purchased it. I've been too busy to return them. but not any longer.
I don't know about the extension bars that are listed here but the bars that come with the standard mobile bases are plenty thick and will handle the rated weight with ease. I also have several other brands of mobile bases and the Shop Fox is by far the heaviest duty. But the part was replaced immediately. My only negative with the Shop Fox bases is that they take a while to assemble and I did get a bent part. I don't know about others but I own three of the Shop Fox mobile bases and find them incredibly strong. I assume the extension bars are the same type of tubing but that may not be the case. Good folks. My purchase was with Grizzly for the bases and have to say that they are very professional and I doubt they would sell something that isn't what they advertise including these extension bars.
That is another thing - everything about the mobile base for which these bars were made screams "cheap, cheap, cheap" except the price. I bought the G7315 mobile base and needed the extra width offered with these extension bars. Not only are they incredibly thin-walled (~0.090") but they do not even mate to the corner brackets properly. Forty smackers will buy a lot of oak - if you are a woodworker buy the oak and make your own extensions, you'll be glad you did. There is a lot of slop all around which for something sold to support up to 1200# is surprising, if not disconcerting.
