DO NOT SPEND TIME OR MONEY

This product is not what it says it is. Overall database performance leaves a lot to be desired at best. It's not easy to assemble, rather the instructions don't seem clear. I put this base under a 350 pound band saw (this base is rated for 650 pounds, not that much). Moving the base twice the front wheel started to sag and due to the weight of the saw I lost my footing the third time I set the saw up causing the saw to get stuck in one spot. I would order a different base. It seems to me that the swivel or caster wheels are too far from the saw's center of gravity. Overall, I'm not happy with the base and I don't think I'll be ordering any more BORA products. I also have a large stand from BORA and a jointer for a much heavier tool, and it also has problems with rollers that won't turn. Again, I need to modify both bases to make them work as described. Very disappointed with BORA in general.
