Solid so far but parts rusted on arrival

TLDR: very happy with the unit, functional, deducting two stars for the rust found. That worries me a lot. I bought this to move an old Craftsman 113 table saw (cast iron is so heavy) on uneven floors. For that purpose it was a dream. Pros: - Shipping was faster than advertised - Super solid once assembled - Super easy to install even when I was alone. - Super easy to use Cons: - Parts arrived with rust (feet screw inside) - Pedals peel on first use. poor design (make sure you put some lube on…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Good but didn't quite live up to expectations

Most of the positives to a lesser extent: Excellent workmanship, reliable powder coating, and so durable it'll save yourself future disappointment by ditching all the threaded holes in the front assembly attempt . All the steel material was a selling point for updating my old wood/metal base that's been around for decades. It's much stiffer and easier to handle. Another benefit was the 5 inch casters which made it possible to cope with an uneven work floor. However, the photos are a bit…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • I'll add later

Doesn't fit snugly on table saw base and has issues with T-extension

This is a review of the PM-3800 + 3245 extension. Overall I am happy with this product. It replaces the Delta Unisaw Mobile Base, which is in the same price range as the Portamate Combo variant. I wanted bigger wheels on the Portamate for better walking around the store. The larger wheels make it much easier to move around the store and the risers/levers are easy to control with your feet. The assembly instructions were clear and easy to understand. Now for the cons: - At its tightest setting…

Pros
  • Industry best
Cons
  • Hard to say
