The 6 Best Mobile machine bases (2023 reviews)

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a base. The wen mobile machine base is exactly that - it's a simple base that hits all the right notes. This mobile base is made for the WEN 14 inch bandsaw. The two bottom orange bracket pieces that the wheels physically bolt to, have so much paint on the sides of the brackets, that they can not FREELY swing up & down as needed. The foot actuated lift is sticky on the way down. This is made easier by the longer rail units having a slotted hole for mounting while the shorter rails and end pieces have exact size round holes. The stand is sturdy, adjustable, and easy to assemble.

The base is easy to assemble and works great. The holes are spaced at 1” increments so the slots give you about 12” of wiggle room. It comes with lock washers but the bolts are grooved on the underside and will grip firmly once tightened and should remain that way.

Why We Like This:

Easy to assemble, provides portability for heavy drill press, bandsaw etc
Rolls easy and is secure when wheels are raised
Locks into place easily with no movement once locked

The bora mobile machine base is capable of outshining several other base featured in this list in overall features in its price range. The orange levers used to raise the base off of the "steering wheels" are a nicely-engineered eccentric cam that lifts/lowers the load in a controlled way. It's sturdy, will not tip over, easy to roll, and keeps everything very close to the ground so the height difference between the saw on the floor and on the cart is barely noticeable. The 2 bolts keep the inserts level and keeps the base from sagging.

The brake levers have cams that jack the frame up on adjustable legs to prevent rolling. There are sealed ball bearings supporting both sides of each caster's axle. The rails are closed section metal, beautifully painted and of very high quality. It is easy to use and foot-operated locking levers to clamp the steel mobile base firmly into place.
