I have the following tools on their commercial bases:

Delta Unsaw
Powermatic 6in. jointer
Delta 14in. band saw

The machines all work fine when the wheels are locked and
move nicely when unlocked. Mobility means a lot if you
have a small shop like mine. The only way I could imagine
doing without mobile machines is if you had a pretty large
shop.

Hey Group,
In upgrading my shop tools I purchased mobile bases for them too. For
those of you that have or had large tools on mobile bases, where you
happy with the way they worked or did you feel they were more stabile
off the base? I know the base is locked stationary when the tool is
used.
Has anybody done away with the base and prefer a more permanent
setting?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Marc
