Courtland Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 This past Sunday I ordered the Shop Fox Mini Base for my Grizzly G0555 Band Saw. I have had my band saw up on casters for years, and it's always been a tad high. The casters are about 3" tall, so the band saw is kind of a good fit for a 6' tall woodworker at this point, I am only 5'-9". Also when pushing material through the resaw blade, the band saw wants to walk and rock a bit because of the height of the casters, so am hoping the low profile mobile base will stabilize the saw. I should be getting it this Thursday, I'll let ya all know how it feels and works! Quote
Allen Worsham Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 I have my table saw on a Shop Fox like that one, though it be a tad longer due to the 52" top. Works great and easy to move around. Only raises the tool up about 1/2"-5/8" so not much of a difference in height when working with the machine. You will enjoy it. Courtland 1 Quote
Courtland Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 Thanks Allen, I have one too for my 12" Grizz TS, funny though, it's on a mobile base, and I have not moved it in the 14 years I have had the saw! Go figure. At one time shortly after we moved into our home, we actually thought we'd get some cars into our garage, not! Quote
Courtland Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 Just came in the mail, I'll get it together tomorrow and talk about it! It's going to be nice to have that sucker mobile now! Quote

Courtland Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Posted June 13, 2015 A little cutting and cursing and she's home and mobile. Here is the link to my Band Saw, and note the accessories below it, that is the mobile base I ordered, but it was too big, my fault though, I did not read the specs, oh well, a little cuttin never hurt anyone.

Kevin Beitz Posted March 22, 2020 Report Posted March 22, 2020 I put 100's of them together. I worked for ShopFox for 5 years. The mobile bases are great. You can also buy extensions for them. Cal and Gunny 2 Quote
