Best Mobile Power Tool Bases of 2026

"After adding this plunge base to my Dewalt compact router, I noticed a huge improvement in versatility and control. The build is outstanding, and the plunge action is smooth and reliable. I appreciate how easy it is to set up and swap out, and I recommend it as a must-have upgrade for frequent router users."

"With the plunge base, my 1/4” trim router has become significantly more useful, easily becoming my go-to tool. The release button and smooth action are standout features. Just a heads up: if you’re not careful during installation, it can block the on/off switch on the Dewalt 20v, but once you know, it’s easy to avoid. Highly recommended if you want to get more out of your router."

"As a relatively new woodworker, I found this plunge base incredibly easy to set up and operate. Pairing it with the DN6913 edge guide, I was able to produce perfect dados and edge rabbets quickly. The smooth operation and adjustability really boosted my confidence with my compact router."

"I received the stand on time, and everything was packed really well—no missing parts at all. Once assembled and tightened, it turned out extremely sturdy and the fit was excellent. I easily mounted my 13” planer using the pre-drilled holes, and the mobility plus built-in storage shelf are fantastic. Great product—would definitely recommend!"

"For my small but heavy grinder, this stand is ideal. The height is perfect for sharpening, and I can move it out of the way easily in my shop. Assembly was straightforward using the diagrams, and all parts were organized by section. I did encounter a minor manufacturing defect with one carriage bolt, but DeWalt's support promised a replacement."

"I have limited vision and was concerned about assembling this stand, especially since the instructions are mostly just diagrams. Despite that, it went together smoothly, except for some confusion around mounting the static casters. My girlfriend helped, and together we got it figured out. Once assembled, this stand is incredibly sturdy and stable, even with heavy equipment."

"I'm genuinely thrilled with the WEN Mobile Base MB500. Transforming my stationary band saw into a mobile powerhouse has been a total game-changer for my workspace. The adjustable frame is impressive and fits a range of tools. Assembly took me under an hour, even though the instructions were a bit ambiguous. The only small annoyance is that the wheel lock can be stubborn, but overall, this product is sturdy, adaptable, and makes moving heavy tools a breeze. It's a must-have for any serious DIYer or woodworker."

"I've purchased several of these WEN mobile bases for my shop. They're easy to assemble, well-built, and make it simple to move heavy equipment around, even on smooth floors. I ended up customizing the fit for my old drill press and it works perfectly. After my positive experience, I bought more bases for other tools like my bandsaw. Assembly gets easier each time and moving and storing heavy power tools is now effortless."

"I've used both higher-end and more affordable mobile bases and the WEN is an excellent value for lighter tools. While the adjustable feet and foot lever operation feel a bit less smooth than pricier models, the base is functional and reliable, especially for tools under 200 lbs. For the price, it's hard to beat, and I've bought several for my various machines. If you need a functional solution without overspending, this is it."

"I was looking for a better solution to move my compound miter saw around the shop and the Portamate PM-1100 fit the bill perfectly. Assembly was straightforward, and I loved that I could use my own boards to create a custom base. No more tripping over a bulky frame, and it rolls smoothly. I appreciated how easy it was to reconfigure the wheel placement to suit my needs. I plan to get another one for my lathe."

"For making heavy woodworking machines mobile, this kit is well-built and highly adaptable. I used my own plywood, which allowed me to add extra storage underneath. Assembly was simple, though I did run into an issue with the bolts being a bit too long, which others have mentioned. Still, the overall design is solid, and I liked it enough to buy a second kit."

"I was impressed by how solid and robust this product is compared to other options out there. It just worked after assembly—no extra adjustments needed. The symmetrical hole pattern for the wheels made it easy to reposition them without drilling new holes. My only minor concern is with the rear wheels, which don't have bearings, but so far it's holding up well."

"I've got multiple bench top stands that were a pain to move, especially since they weren't designed for casters. This mobile base solved that by supporting each leg individually and keeping the stand stable. The assembly wasn't complicated, though I wish the diagram was bigger and clearer. The levers work well, though they need a bit of force at first to lower the wheels. Overall, at this price, it’s a solid solution for easily moving lighter tools like my miter saw and router table."

"This base is strong, fits perfectly, and doesn’t cost a fortune. There’s really no need to spend more for what I need."

"While the installation instructions were tough to read, the base itself is sturdy and the quality is excellent. I found better assembly pictures online, which helped. It makes moving my drill press around the shop effortless."

"I bought my second one for my heavy drill press after seeing how well it worked for my bandsaw. The foot-flip levers are a game changer—no fiddling with thumb screws, just a quick step and it's locked in place. I like that it’s stable, eliminates tipping, and rolls easily, even under a 190-pound bandsaw. I wish it was a bit more maneuverable, but for my needs, it's the perfect balance of stability and mobility."

"I've assembled three of these so far and use them for everything from a drill press to a heavy planer. They make moving my equipment around the shop so much easier, and the workspace is now flexible and easy to clean. This mobile base is definitely a must-have for any small workshop."

"I was hesitant at first, but after putting it together and rolling my bandsaw around, I was impressed by how sturdy and easy to use this base is. Assembly was a bit tricky because of the unclear instructions, but once set up, it made moving my tools effortless. I'm happy with my purchase."

"Adding the JET JMB-UMB Universal Mobile Base to my workshop has been a game-changer for both mobility and versatility. I appreciate its exceptional build quality, adjustable frame, and straightforward assembly. The heavy-duty casters let me move even my heaviest machinery with ease, and the foot-operated levers are a clever touch. It makes reorganizing my space simple and efficient. Overall, it's essential for anyone wanting a more organized and flexible workspace."

"I was surprised by how quick and easy the assembly was—it took me less than 15 minutes from unpacking to ready-to-use. My Jet 15” Bandsaw sits securely on it, and the base remains solid and steady even while the saw is running. Despite a minor hiccup with a missing part in my first shipment, the replacement arrived quickly and the experience was smooth. I’m impressed with both the stability and convenience this mobile base provides."

"This base was very straightforward to put together—I actually didn’t even need any tools. It’s heavy-duty, rolls effortlessly, and the locking casters are simple to operate. Moving my heavy equipment around the shop has never been easier. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a practical solution for heavy workshop tools."

"I’ve never used a better mobile base—it's extremely well made, easy to put together, and now my heavy Jet 1836 drum sander is simple to move around the shop. Adding the extension kit made it even more robust. Definitely worth the investment."

"I put the Bora 3500 under my panel saw, which weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, and moving it is now effortless. The lock down brakes are solid, keeping my workstation stable when needed. I’m very satisfied with its performance."

"I had a minor manufacturing issue, but Bora’s customer service was outstanding—they quickly sent me a replacement part after a brief call. Despite a bit of paint chipping, the mobile base is heavy-duty and works great. I’d buy from Bora again for sure."

"I use this with my Grizzly table saw and it works amazingly well, supporting heavy loads and rolling smoothly. I managed to assemble it by tilting and building the base under the saw, even though it’s very low to the ground. Highly recommend for stability and durability!"

"I’ve bought several of these bases for my shop. The cast iron wheels roll easily on concrete, and the construction is rock solid. I even made the base smaller by trimming the stretchers, which was simple. No sagging under heavy machines, and the casters can be oriented as needed. This is hands down the best mobile base I’ve used."

"I put my heavy Harvey table saw on this base and it’s holding up perfectly. For the price, it’s a steal compared to name brands. Assembly took a bit of time, but it’s totally worth it for the stability and savings. I’d definitely buy another for other machines."

"I'm genuinely impressed by how sturdy and robust this base is—it's currently holding my over-500-pound jointer without any trouble. The all-swivel wheels make it so much easier to move, and the unit locks down securely when in use. Assembly was straightforward, and overall, this rolling base is a fantastic value."

"My 850-pound industrial planer sits securely on this mobile base, and it handles the load effortlessly. The rigid construction and four casters make moving even heavy equipment a breeze. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone needing serious support for shop tools."

"I bought this after being disappointed with a pricier, orange-branded alternative that couldn't hold any weight. This unit is well-built, simple to put together, and saved me a good chunk of money. While it did arrive with some dings and scratches, that's not a big deal in a shop environment."
