Mobile bases are awfully expensive, but Harbor Freight used to sell one for
less than $20 that came with a few metal pieces and then required you to supply
some wood to complete it and customize the size. Unfortunately it doesn't look

I have one of those and they work OK. I think they used to go
for $40 and were on sale at 50% off.


like HF offers this thing any longer. However, I was at a friend's house and
noticed that he has a bunch of Delta mobile bases that look almost identical to
the old HF ones. He received them as a gift and didn't know where they were
purchased. Has anyone else seen these? It sounds like a great way to save some
money and still get the mobility I need for a couple large power tools in my
shop.

All I see there now are the expensive type at $60. Hmmm...

Out of curiosity, I was going to try Northern Tool but instead
dialed in "homier mobile base" and found the base. It looks like
the same type HFT sold a couple years ago but for $2 less money!

Their roller stands look like a good $15 deal, too.

The HFT rollers (singles) weren't bearing style, they were VERY
coarsely made (bushing style) with lousy rolling characteristics.
Does anyone have one of these Homier jobs?
