- Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2021Verified PurchaseThe PM 1100 is a high quality, well designed mobile base with great flexibility to fit any size tool up to the weight limit. It was relatively easy to assemble using normal shop tools and I had no issues with alignment of the holes. I used the corner assembly clamped to the bottom as a template and marked the holes with a brad point drill bit slightly smaller than the hole.
Depending on how accurate you are with this process, you can either do the final drilling to exact fit the screws, or drill one size larger to accommodate any minor misalignment. The holes in the corner assembly are threaded and will benefit from having the screws run part way through to remove paint in the threads, prior to assembly. I installed this base under a Rigid TS3650 table saw that weighs 280 lbs and it works perfectly. I mounted the front assembly with casters and levers pointing sideways so there is no tripping hazard and once the floor stops were adjusted the saw is very solid. I like that the levers to raise and lower are metal and move easily with a toe push. Check the BoraTools.com website for help selecting the correct base for your application. Highly recommend and will be ordering a second base for my bandsaw.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2020Verified PurchaseFirst out of the box I was impressed with the sturdiness of the product. Nothing that was going to break, bend or seize. Firm rubber wheels, thick metal brackets ,solid screws. Regarding the screws, I used a 3/4 ply and the appropriate screws. A couple of extra would have been great as I has a dud screw. The instructions , although not the best I have seen, were certainly clearer than some cookery recipes I have used. Also it’s not that complex a design so it’s easy to work out. There was a good warning in the instructions regarding checking the drill hole positions. I appreciated that. It took a while to build, a couple of hours, but I ended up with a strong mobile base for my heavy planer and a deep sense of satisfaction. I know it doesn’t state what thickness of ply so as a note I used 3/4 and it is more than adequate. My planer weighs about 100 LB. Nice product. I recommend it.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2022Verified PurchaseThis mobile base unit works great. It was easy to put together although the instructions still need to be updated. It calls for lock washers which are not required and have actually been taken off the parts list. Other than that there were no other issues. I used it on my chop saw so used a combination of plywood and 2X4's so I didn't waste a huge piece of plywood. The total size ended up being 24" X 56" and since I have a small workshop, I can now easily push the saw out of the way when not in use. I totally recommend this product.

Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2025Verified PurchaseIl m’a fallu beaucoup de persévérance et de détermination pour arriver au bout de l’installation. D’abord, il ne faut pas compter sur le guide imprimé fourni pour monter les diverses unités. C’est mal imprimé et difficile à suivre. Mieux vaut aller en ligne sur YouTube. C’est ce que j’ai fait.
Mais le principal problème vient avec la quincaillerie : deux des écrous fournis étaient défectueux, mal usinés et inutilisables. Il a donc fallu que je les remplace et donc que j’en achète. Ensuite, surprise : aucune des vis fournies ne pouvait s’insérer, car les filetages des pièces d’accueil n’avaient pas été faits ou mal faits. Il a donc fallu que je refasse tous les filetages (M8 x 1.25, toute la quincaillerie est en métrique) des quatre plaques où s’insèrent les vis qui attachent les composantes des quatre coins, soit 12 opérations de filetage. En prime, j’ai rencontré le même problème de filetage avec une des pattes fixes que j’ai dû aussi refaire (en M10 celui là).
Une fois que le produit est finalement monté il semble bien fonctionner. Il y aurait avantage à ce que cette entreprise se dote d’un service de contrôle de la qualité. Ça éviterait bien des problèmes aux utilisateurs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well built
Verified PurchaseWell built smart solution for moving machines etc. Nice that there are multiple options to place the wheels so that the levers can be placed where they aren't too much in the way. A bit pricy and needs some adjustments when mounting on thick base sheets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny
Verified PurchaseBought this for my ~100kg bandsaw. Works a treat.
Bit fiddly to assemble but not rocket science. I was surprised the top section of each corner - the grey triangles - didn't fit that well against the bottom sections. Like neither was quite square. But it seems to make no difference.
Feels extremely robust and solid, even with a cheap bit of melamine coated chipboard as the base (an Ikea PAX wardrobe side!).
I avoided the cheaper copies of this based on the reviews and glad I went for this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had discovered this before I bought a different mobile base!
Verified PurchaseI originally bought the HTC2000 Adjustible Mobil Base kit and extra extender kit to make a base for my compound miter saw which is on a stand that is 28” wide by 63” long. The HTC2000 and extender kit went together fine and moved the saw around great. The problem I had with that arrangement was every time I went to use the saw I tripped over the mobile base frame because it was a giant rectangle frame. The stand that the saw sits on has upside down V-shaped flared out legs. Between the legs the saw sits on a pair of parallel bars that connect to the top of the Upside down V - so they are more centered than the full width of the legs at the floor level. I kept trying to figure out how to modify that mobile base unit so the front part of the frame wouldn’t be right where you need to stand to use the saw.
I started looking around on 鶹 again at mobile bases and discovered the Portamate PM-1100 so decided to give it a try. Glad I did! I just finished assembling it and it works great. I used some 1x6 pressure treated boards for the 28” short ends and a 63” piece of 2x4 down the center forming large “H” configuration. I connected the boards into the “H” using some carriage bolts. Plopped the saw on top of the big “H” and it works perfectly! Rolls around very nicely and no more tripping over the frame.
A few suggestions for assembly...when you are assembling the corner pieces, drill the holes a little bigger than the size of the bolt. If you have a drill press use that. I didn’t get some of my holes straight at first and had trouble lining up the holes for the top/bottom plates until I reamed out the holes I drilled crooked. Also it would have been great to have a second set of hands available especially when I was fighting the crooked holes but I eventually used the bench vice and that helped. Plan out and then double check your plan where you want the swivel wheels to be - both on the short end or on the lon end. I thought I had it figured out until it was all together and I realized for such a long piece it would be better to have the swivel wheels on the short end. So After struggling with all my crooked holes, I had to take it all apart and put it together again with the wheels in different corners. Went together easier the second time! Lastly, be aware that there isn’t much clearance under the bottom plate, only about a half inch, so if your floor isn’t level or you are moving a long piece down a signtly sloped floor, you will scrape bottom.
I plan to buy another Portamate PM-1100 for my lathe and configure it like I did for the miter saw, just not sure what to do with the HTC2000 now but I’m sure in time I will find a tool that needs wheels. Good luck - this was a good project for me, a novice just setting up a shop.
