Mobile Base

Since my stain/finish storage project is on hold until I finish my latest project and apply the finish I do not plan on doing any cutting of wood. I just applied the last coat so it should not be too long before I get back to that project.

I do have a product review for a mobile base. I recently purchased a mobile base for my table saw. I purchased the Port-a-Mate mobile base from Menards. This unit was reasonable priced at about $45. I have a contractors style table saw in the shop and need to move it when I need floor space to work on finishing or assemble. I usually push the table saw into the corner against the wall. This was tough to do before without the mobile base because I had to drag it over to the corner. It took a little time to assemble the base and get in under the saw. I would saw that it took about 15-20 minutes to figure out the size I need and put all of the nuts and bolts together. Once I finished Assembly and put it under the saw it was easy to change from a stationary position to a mobile position. Now I can move the saw with ease by simply pushing two levers on the wheels. So far the product has stood the test of my shop and the demand to move my table saw. I would recommend that you take a look at this mobile base if you are looking to purchase one for your shop.
