Review on PROTOCOL Equipment MB 1236 Universal Rolling by Rickey Ortega

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not strong and difficult to assemble

This product is not intended for use. If it bends when you move the machine and it's not safe for the band saw I bought it for. It is made in the form of an assembly kit and has weak side and end rails and corner supports in which the machine is placed. It's also not possible to build a base around an existing car, meaning you have to jack up each end and place each side of the dolly under the car. The real problem arises when you want the carriage to be slightly larger than the base of your machine, but since the bolts and nuts have to be inserted and tightened from the inside of the frame, you need to increase the size of the carriage to make it at least is 1 inch longer and wider than the base of your machine. Of course, this means that it is even less supported and more unstable when cornering. I have grizzly carriages on the other machines I have and I only bought these because I thought they would be easy to adapt to my bandsaw. base that wasn't there. So I returned it and bought another grizzly wagon, just cut the bars to the width I wanted and just mounted it around the base of my bandsaw and now it's stable and secure. Spend the extra money and buy a durable and easy to assemble cart and you won't regret it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Good but not great
