Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Includes Universal Mobile Base - 50-345.
Amazon.com Review: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.

Good quality, front caster foot lever is bigger than it looks
I actually bought this base to attach to a piece of machinery that fits in a closet. The base hardware (angle brackets, wheels) are solid, and if you use a hard wood like oak for the 2x2 sides, the whole thing is solid as a rock.
However, the foot pedal sticks out several inches, and it actually got in my way a bit. In addition, if you are like me and wanted to store something in a closet out of the way, you need at least 8-12" of extra space to accommodate the petal. I'm sure the petal is not a problem for most people, just something to keep in mind.

not bad, not great, but better than ok
This stand is, all in all, pretty good. I have it underneath my bandsaw, which is a somewhat heavy tool. When I step on the pedal and lift the stand onto the three wheels, it's rather top heavy and tippy when I roll it around. I think the three wheel design might be better for a shorter tool with a lower center of gravity, like a jointer perhaps.
The assembly is easy enough and I've had no problems with quality of the stand so I have nothing to say in that regard.
Under a lighter/shorter tool I think this stand would be great.

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!!
