Very pleased - heavy duty

Just got this under my 1,100 lbs Northfield 12” jointer and I’m very happy with it. Rolls quite well, especially considering the load. I have a couple Shop Fox heavy duty mobile bases under 700-800 lbs bandsaw and drill press, and even though they are lighter they don’t roll as well as this does. I had to order the extra long rails and cut down the short rails and drill/tap some new holes but that was no problem. I did add plywood, which I consider a best practice with any mobile base. Really happy with this one. I’ll probably stick with Bora going forward.

Good base. And 2 wheels as good as 4

First-- the portamate bases are very good. Very sturdy and well made-- at least the heavier duty ones I bought. I bought the more expensive 3550 for my felder jointer, thinking I would need the 4 wheels to roll the machine. But frankly I don't roll it that much. Still I don't regret purchase, very sturdy and no vibration when machine on. Rolls easily when casters engaged. Then I saw the 3500 (2 wheel model) on sale at less than 1/2 what I paid for the 3550. Why not. Put it under my Sawstop. Other than having to cut two of the crossbars to fit the base-(using a cheap metal blade from home depot to fit on my 8 inch dewalt skill saw but I think a metal hand saw will also cut though slower)- I am very pleased. The 3500 works every bit as good as the 3550. Maybe better since I am mainly moving the table saw forward or back as needed. AlsoI did not need the extension gadget for my outfeed table or side table. These still have legs and I only needed to shim with a wood block to support the legs at the right height when not engaging the casters on the mobile base. When rolling the table, the base lifts everything up and I don't need the leg supports until saw is lowered back down to use. Lastly both bases look good under my felder and sawstop. And the wheels don't get in my way when using either machine.

Fine by itself, but read if you are getting the table saw extension

This base is sturdy, adjustable, and easy to put together. There are only two issues I ran into, one is the fixed wheels on one side and the other is the minimum dimensions this supports. The fixed wheels are fine if you are using this base by itself. If you are adding the T-shaped table saw extension (Bora Pm-3036 Extension Rail Kit), however, you end up with two locking wheels on one end, two fixed wheels in the middle, and two locking wheels on the other end. The fixed wheels just don't work when you want to move in a universal direction. Bora DOES make a base with 4 locking wheels (Bora Portamate Mobile Base PM-3550 Industrial Strength with Swivel Wheels), but it is almost double the cost. However, if you're using the extension then this is the base that you probably want. My setup works as is, but it requires a little more moving the table back and forth to keep the fixed wheels from dragging. As for the minimum lengths, you can cut the bars if you need to shorten them. If you do that then don't cut all the length off one end. Instead shorten from both ends so that you retain the pre-drilled holes.

Used it for an 1800 lb machine

It was easy to use and strong. It easily held my 1800 lb jointer.

Great Mobile Base For Woodworking Equipment

This is a fabulous mobile base that is very heavy-duty, despite being nicely adjustable in one-inch increments. I am a retired furniture maker and was fortunate to be able to build my collection of equipment to include some large vintage cast-iron pieces which are very heavy (~750-800 pounds). My new shop is smaller, so I need/want to have all of my equipment mobile, and this base absolutely fits the bill. I considered having a "custom" base welded for my equipment, but thought that I would give this base a try first, given its great reviews...I am completely satisfied, and it's worth every dollar. The steel tubing and welded corners are of a heavy enough gauge that the entire base is VERY stiff once bolted together. The wheels are truly ball bearing, not just a shaft (bolt) going through a bushing in the center of the wheel. 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. This mechanism includes an adjustable foot that allows the base to be leveled (within ~1/2" range) relative to the non-turning wheels at the other end of the base. Assembly was very straightforward and took about 30-40 minutes; the next one, which I'm buying right now, will only take about 20 minutes now that I've done one already. I am using it for a cast-iron Crescent Heavy 20 bandsaw that weighs 775 pounds and it is very stable and easy to move around the shop. The next one will be for a Master 24" disc sander, also weighing ~750 pounds, but somewhat more top-heavy. I'll update the review if having a more top-heavy load adversely affects the performance of the base -- my gut tells me that it won't be a problem.

Capable of handling the weight and still be very mobile.

I used the Bora 3500 for my panel saw which weights just under 1,000 pounds. It allows me move it with ease. The lock down breaks work great , giving a stable work station after it is moved & locked.

Works really well!

We have a plastic cabinet for storage sitting on top of this Portamate. It’s great. The ability to shrink and expand this rolling base is also a big asset.

pour scie sur table

très bien, assez facile a monter et deplace ma delta 10 pouce ( 400lbs plus ) facilement. si vous achetez l'extension pour déplacer votre table et votre rallonge, cela demandera un peu de travail pour mettre l'ensemble de niveau.

These are heavy duty, solid bases. You won't regret the purchase. Although not cheap, worth it. For heavier tools.
