Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Of all the mobile bases we've seen, this is the king. The sturdy corner brackets, wheels and casters, foot pedal, and all the hardware are supplied; you supply the hardwood. We like this deal because you make the stand to fit your needs, all the way up to 30 by 30 inches and 300 pounds of load if you build your rails of oak. In a small shop or a garage shop that has to accommodate your cars, put together a couple of these and roll your tools out of the way when you're done working. With other bases we've looked at, you have to tip up your tool and waddle carefully. With this Delta, just unlock the foot pedal, engage the third-point caster, and you're off. The wheels and casters are quality, and they move like a dream. We wouldn't limit use to just tools--this base could come in handy for moving appliances, too. A nice back saver at a great price. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews
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.

Great Idea, Cheap Bolts
This is an affordable option that I believe is the best design because you can make it exactly the size you need so there is no slippage.
I was going to use hardwood, but it was too expensive, so I used pressure treated pine I had lying around.
The dimentions are not exactly 1 1/2" square, but I ripped down 2x4s for the perfect fit.
I reccommend putting the foot peddle on the left or right side so it moves the long way.
The only thing that I couldn't overcome to make this a great stand was the bolts.
The bolts are the lowest grade you can find. they will work, but be careful. I snapped the shaft of one and the head came right off of another.
For having only 1 caster, It works wonderfully
The only thing wanting in the design is 4 casters, If you put these foot levers on every side, or more preferably every corner, it would be perfect. (Except the BOLTS)

Delta Mobile Base
the product was made in China, which explains it's quality control problem. The design is good, but Delta is not watching it's suppliers close enough. The main problem was the assembly hardware was a mix of Standard bolts and metric nuts. In a couple of cases a specific bolt would be standard and its matching nut would be metric. I would probably not buy this product again.
