What's not to like.OK, not the best assembly instructions, but plenty of videos on youtube if needed.Expect about 45min for a first assembly. I use this for an IT rack I temporarily propped up and finalized the assembly around/under the rack. Really happy.

The base was assembled in 5 minutes and had enough adjustment to allow for use on any piece of equipment I have. It allows the equipment to be moved easily and locked into place for stationary use.

Went together easily and works very good. I have it together long and narrow. It holds the weight very well. Could use a support in the centre when stretched to 51 in.

Gotta admit...this thing is way better quality than I had expected. It’s awesome to be able to easily move my table saw around when it’s not in use.

Construction quality is fine, finish is ok too but weight limit wasn’t as described. Description said 650lb and i’ve put a 400lb jointer on it and the rails is not loving it at all. The rails at 2 corners failed and the metal corners now touch the ground even when i lift the rack to move the machine..

The design is good but the rubber on the casters started to peal off the first time I tried to move the machine. They can’t handle any twisting. This happened instantly.

I recently purchased a new Laguna 14" bandsaw. I decided to use this BORA universal mobility base instead of buying the OEM mobility kit from Laguna (which was over twice the price and had only so-so reviews). Another big plus is that the BORA has 4 wheels (instead of 3 on the OEM mobility kit), making it steady and easy to maneuver.I was very pleased at how sturdy the overall construction was and am very comfortable that this will easily handle my 270 lb. bandsaw. Assembly is straightforward, but the instructions could be improved (there are a lot of pictures, but it was not always clear where to use certain parts like washers). The foot operated wheel lift mechanisms are metal (as opposed to plastic used on some other universal bases) and appear to be very sturdy and the rails were made of very heavy gauge material. The finish on all parts is also very good, and while this is not essential to functionality, it does give you a sense of overall good quality.I plan to purchase a second unit for my table saw and would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone looking for a good quality cost effective mobility base for their power tools.

Reviewed other products from Amazon - other reviewers noted many have plastic foot cams to raise and lower base. This one has steel parts; except for the wheels, the entire device is steel - very sturdy and not at all fragile. My Craftsman table saw - under 100 lbs, poses no challenge whatsoever to this base.The assembly directions were not ideal, but they got the job done. Parts orientation is easier to determine from the exploded drawing at the beginning of the manual. Actual assembly is straightforward; the real fun begins when you mount your table saw or other tool. Finding the right dimensions is a "jigsaw puzzle", not covered in the instruction manual, and a bit of a challenge until you figure it out. You can move the bars in 1" increments, and the larger bar on each side (as I assembled it) has slots that allow about ½" movement, so accuracy is attainable. I wound up assembling and disassembling the side bars multiple times finding the right dimension for locating the feet of the saw table over the holes in the mobile base corner pieces. It helps to use a floor jack or something to get the saw just above the base an inch or so, making the process a bit less "work". By adjusting the "slotted" bar at the corner, then where it attaches to the smaller bar with holes, it seems you can get infinite adjustment, but you have to fiddle a lot to actually get the saw fastened to the base. Once done, I tightened everything up and was good to go.A couple of things to remember - the saw on its base is now about 4 to 5" deeper because of the location on the corner pieces and the foot-cams. My saw doesn't fit as nicely on the side of the garage as it used to; just a "heads up" if you have limited space.One of the foot cams has more action in raising the base than the other. I studied the base a long time to figure that out, and am convinced I cannot adjust that out; it appears to be a slight misalignment of the welded bracket on the corner piece - even ⅛" would be enough to change the camping action. It is not a deal breaker, but a bit annoying they couldn't locate the foot-cam bracket more accurately.All in all, this thing will last longer than the saw - it is very sturdy, heavy-gauge metal, with only the wheels being plastic. A good buy for just a few dollars more than the plastic el-cheapo model.

Fácil de armar, aguanta buen peso y muy práctico para mover equipos pesados o grandes dentro del taller, sobre todo cuando no cuentas con espacio para trabajar, si no lo necesitas, simplemente lo quitass o estaciones en un rincón

These are a solid mobile base once assembled. The assembly may require more than two hands and some of the directions could be more clear. But overall, assembly isn't horribly difficult. I am probably a bit more picky on fit than most folks so that does play into my assessment.I have used both the Bora PM 2500 and the PM 1500 bases. The PM 2500 is far superior to the PM 1500. The design of the hardware that raises the wheels is much improved on the PM 2500 and overall it is just a much sturdier base.Almost all of the tools in my shop are on mobile bases so I have tried many different brands and models over the years. For what I do the PM 2500 mobile base is the best base at a decent price point. The base also sits very close to the floor which keeps the tool's center of gravity close to what it would be with no base. There is no more tendency for a tool to tip over than without the base.Overall, maybe not perfect but pretty close. They are a little pricey but you really cannot make a mobile base of comparable quality for what you pay for the Bora PM 2500. If you watch online sales these do occassionally go on sale for about the price of the PM 1500.
