Piece of junk! [Posted on 2007-12-23]
I bought this to use with a G0593 jointer. Installation was pretty straight forward and the base looks good. The problem is it just does not work! The only way you can move this base is by pushing it hard enough so the casters will slide on the surface. The swiveling casters always tend to lock to prevent the base from moving and the other ones don't rotate very well anyway. The base seems pretty sturdy for the 400+lbs jointer but the casters are just of cheap quality. Of course it's hard to return now that a heavy machine is on it. I would NOT buy this or recommend it to anyone.

Poor quality all around [Posted on 2007-12-26]
Unfortunately I spent an hour assebmling before realizing how poor quality it was. The caster mounts are all bent to different angles so it wobbles a good 1/2" or more. I'm afraid to bend it as that will weaken it. The bolts are such poor quality the heads are not standard sizes and you have to go at it with several wrenches because you don't know what will work for each bolt. There was a good bit of rust on mine out of the box. ALso, one of the rotating casters hits a bolt so it will not turn all the way around. I'm trying to get this returned as fast as possible and will most likely make my own base. Sigh...

Very Happy [Posted on 2008-01-04]
I'm very happy with the Shop Fox G7314 Heavy-Duty Mobile Base. It was easy to setup and works great for moving my saw around the shop.

Don't buy this!!!! [Posted on 2008-04-27]
I bought this for my new cabinet saw and was completely disapointed. It does not move. There is no way this base is mobile. It almost tips over when trying to move it and it does not budge. Waste of money!!!!

Piece of Junk [Posted on 2008-07-27]
Total piece of junk. Do not buy this crappy base. Had problems with about every part. Some of the bolts do not fit standard wrenches. The iron already has rust spots, causing the paint to flake off. Casters do not turn easily.

Do not buy.
