If you own Unisaw, or any other large heavy machine for that matter, you really should consider getting a mobile base. Delta's bases are strong, sturdy, look good and are very stable. When I upgraded to a Unisaw, I also bought the mobile base. My Unisaw actually is easier to move around than my contractors saw used to be. With a quick step on the foot lever it effortly raises onto the large swivel wheel and the Unisaw can be moved very easily. A quick flip of your foot to raise the lever and lower the saw and it rests solidly on 4 points, making it very stable. This design of mobile base make large heavy machines very easy to move around and manouver. If your workshop is smaller than you wished it was, put your machines on one of these bases and you'll find your machines take up less space and your shop will seem larger.

this base is 1in too small in each direction to fit the old style cast iron unisaw base. get a HTC HSJ-152, HSB-152, OR HSG-152 any one of these will fit depending on which fence you use. I have used this base it is very sturdy and a great purchase for the newer unisaws.

The mobile base is a perfect fit for the saw. It is easy to use and so compact that it does not get in the way when I use the saw.

I bought this for my Grizzly 1023SL Table Saw. The base dimensions are as advertised and it was a perfect fit. The saw is easy to roll around and is rock solid when lowered.

Perfect job Delta.

This base fits my Grizzly cabinet saw perfectly. Great quality as it moves this 650 pound saw with ease. Much better than the universal bases offered elsewhere (including Grizzly).

Not much to say other than this does what it's supposed to do - let you easily move your saw around. Obviously if you have table extensions that are supported by adjustable lets, you will have to "scoot" then along with the saw since it does not support those legs. A quick push by your foot or hand lifts the edge of the saw cabinet and makes it easy to relocate the saw. It needs assembly when it arrives, but takes less than 15 minutes to put together. The real effort is getting the 500+ pound saw into and on the base. I was actually able to do it by myself using "ancient" techniques of leverage (like the Egyptians when building the Pyramids) to get this thing in. However, find two or three friends to expedite the process without breaking your back.

PUT A ROCKWELL 43 SHAPER ON IT,ROCK SOLID!MOVES AROUND SHOP WITH EASE.SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS A LONG TIME AGO.

The base fit my Delta Unisaw perfectly and moves around quite smoothly. The pedal takes a little practice to let the saw down gently.

Great product from Delta - I have several of these and they haven't let me down. They fit exactly and it makes a difference over the universal base. Easy to move and adjust.

Slid the new Unisaw off its pallet and straight into the base with the help of my friend. Dropped right into place with no problems at all. Construction seems very sturdy and the saw rolls around with any problems.
