Product Description
With the Portamate PM1000 universal mobile base, it's never been easier to move equipment around a crowded shop. Installed on your machines it lets you keep stationary equipment out of the way until needed, freeing space for large projects and cleaning. This fully adjustable mobile base features side rails and corner pieces with holes spaced every inch to insure the perfect fit for your machine. Move jointers, band saws, table saws, sanders, drill presses, planers, workbenches and much more. You'll be able to open up space for more effective productivity, better organization and safety, and added convenience during cleanup. This all steel base is sturdy and easy to assemble, plus it adjusts to fit virtually any large woodworking machine, forming squares from 14 by 14 inches to 31 by 31 inches and rectangles as big as 19 by 43 inches. Holes at 1-inch increments let you choose any shape in between, and 3-inch diameter wheels at all four corners make it easy to maneuver. Roll one tool in; roll another tool out. The foot-operated levers lock machines to the floor, and the base also features a durable powder-coated finish. The PM1000 has a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds. All parts are included, and it's backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Good basic mobile base. Mine has swivel issues
By V. H Lok
Pros: Good basic mobile base. Swivel casters can be attached to trail the base or as "outriggers". Actuator arms (that lift the base onto the casters) can be reversed so that the arms are out of the way. Easy to use. Easy to assemble.Cons: Hopefully they aren't all like this, but my casters don't swivel well, they tend to "skid".I bought this base to make my table saw more mobile (Ryobi BT3100). It does just that, but I've found that the swivels need to be nudged to change direction. Maybe I shouldn't have attached them to "trail" the base, perhaps they would swivel better in the "outrigger" position. The swivels looks identical to the ones on the base under my jointer, which is the HTC2000 model, but it's wheels are in the "outrigger" position. In anycase, when I move the stand and need to turn the base, the swivels don't properly swivel, they skid sideways until I use my toe to push them into the right direction.Since my shop is not my garage and I'm just a hobbiest that wants to shove the saw out of the way when not in use, this base is fine even with the troublesome swivels. They seems to stick only on sharp turns, or reversing direction (pushing forward, then back). Most people don't move their table saws around and would probably use this base for jointers, planers and other tools that you might push out to the driveway so that the sawdust is easier to deal with. Or maybe your shop is small and you need to move stuff around alot. If you don't move stuff around alot, this is a good stand. If your "shop day" consists of swapping machines back and forth to the working area, then the swivels might get annoying.Assembly is pretty easy. More pictures would have helped out the 2 page instructions, but seriously, if you are the type of person that is buying a mobile tool base, then you are probably the type of person that can build the stand with just the written instructions.Make sure you have a helper to pick your machine up onto the stand. I somehow wrestled my table saw up on the stand, but the Ryobi BT3100 is not a very heavy saw, relatively speaking. The instructions suggest that you can build the base around your tool if you don't have a helper (though you'd have to chock the too up on 2x4s).I would have given this 5 stars if the swivels worked better and I might just try and switch them to stick out the sides of the base instead of behind the base. (I can't really see how this would help) I'll update this review if it helps. This is my only complaint. Nice base otherwise.

A few problems!
By Michael Brown
After reading the reviews I purchased one of these units to add mobility to a work bench in my shop. I planned to purchase additional units for other tools. I will do so but most likely not these. From the assembly problems I encountered I found that at the maximum size listed the unit in my opinion was not strong enough. It did not please me that two of the bolts needed for the wheel assemblies were missing and required a trip to the local builders supply to purchase the needed bolt assemblies. The major problem was that quality control (perhaps lack of quality control would be a better term) allowed one of the wheel assemblies to be shipped with one of the holes needed to mount the fixed wheels missing. Nothing that a session with the drill press wouldn't solve but enough extra to be irritating. Summary - if you have a fully equipped shop and basic machinists' skills with a load which is light you may find the base acceptable. In my opinion if you want a complete unit in the box, with easy assembly (not likely with the enclosed instructions) and capable of all advertised perhaps you need to look further.
