Portamate PM-3500 Industrial Strength Universal Mobile Base - Perfect for Heavy-Duty Projects

yaha: It is very strong and sturdy. However, if you need it for a specific space, for example, putting items on top And squashing it in a tight space it will not work for you. I needed to put my washer and dryer stacked in a limited space, but the wheels of the cart or not never enough. They extend outside the cart and could not fit in the area assigned for the washer and dryer. But if you don’t have the issue of a limited space, this will be a great item for you to put your washer and dryer on top of it and be able to move it around when you need to.

EliminatorBB: Heavy Duty, Easy to Assemble. I installed it under Lista Tool Cabinet for my shop. Rolls Easy.

rick: 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...

Bill J: 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...

Daniel Groulx: 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.

Ed Stern: 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.

Client d'Amazon: La boite était très abimé a son arrivé, les boulons tombaient de la boite. Chanceux, il n'en manquait aucun! Dispendieux mais solide!

Bella: 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.

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