does the smith bar move evenly like a commercial machine or does it wobble a bit?

It is not as stable as a commercial unit but moves relatively evenly. I've been using mine for over two years and as I've gotten stronger it has remained the same.

Mine works fine, but I did need to adjust the screws that tighten and loosen the mechanism that slides on the vertical rails. I have no issues with racking the bar or with play and tilting.

It has a little bit of play but not much. The bearings are of good quality and the smith function is pretty smooth.

It wobbles from side to side a bit... That doesn't stop it from rolling smoothly but it does make it hard to rack because there are not many holes to hook the smith bar onto and if he bar is leaning it may make it difficult to latch the bar safely. But if you use the safety stops then they will protect you if you can't hook the bar on and save you from harm. But no it does not move dead even there is some side to side movement

Perfectly balanced. I have been using it for several months and have not had any issues.

Yeah. I found it was a little wonky as well, but you can shift it with two hands on each side bar without doing any damage. In fact, you'll find after using it for a bit that you may need to readjust it as well.

The equipment wasn't square when assembling it so it wobbles even after wedging different areas and sandbagging the frame. I weigh 115 lbs so not as much movement but with my husband at 160 lbs much more. The further away from center of tower the more unstable when doing dips and wide pullups, someone has to hold down one side to minimize wobble. My husbands not a fan. For myself and my son we don't have as much problem, however we did have to shim and sandbag frame.

Very stable! The base is weighted and the spool makes very little, if any difference.

The equipment is not square so it wobbles when being used, especially when using the front of the tower. I.e. the dips and VKRs. I am smaller in weight so it's fine for me but my husband is 160lbs and its more unstable for him.

The bar is able to swivel left and right...up and down with this apparatus. Just make sure that the apparatus is fastened securely to an anchor point. I am not sure how you plan to exercise with it but I believe that it will work for what you want. I just use the up and down rowing motion. If you are doing land mines, it will work. I hope this answers your question.

Not at all...it's very stable! I've had 2 and 3 medium children ( 7-9 year olds) at a time paying on it counterbalancing at various distances from the center along the bar, teens and children, adults...It has never so much as lifted in the center. No tipping whatsoever. And, while it is drilled so you could bolt it down if you choose,I do no thave it bolted...this thing is sturdy.

I do not have any wobble in my PPR200X. It is set up on a 1/2 rubber mat over a carpeted floor which may be why it doesn't wobble.

I never had a problem with the lamp wobbling. In my job I was always moving it around and never had a problem with its stability.

no wobble was found when i use it. If the drill is properly centered in the chunk when it is tightened it should work as designed

I have my 12 in Miter Saw on the stand and find it remarkably stable. No wobble, stands with no side to side motion (or otherwise) at all. If persists when weight is added, would definitely return, Amazon's policy is one of the best and they want you to be satisfied.

No it is pretty solid.. you just have to wipe off the bars and apply a small thin amount of lubricant on the bars to keep it from making a scratching noise.. It does not rock.. I have seen where some people complain the wheels jump of the roller bars.. but that has not happened to me.. My machine is on hardwood.. not sure about the stability issue if it was on carpet...

The bench can "slide" a bit, but is not wobbly during bench movements. It is definitely worth the money, especially considering it goes to military, incline, flat, and decline. If I would have gotten just the power rack, then I would have looked elsewhere (craigslist) for a bench.

There is a little bit of wiggle, but id say its plenty stable. I use it for my main computer desktop, i spend 90% of my time at home at this desk and i'd definitely recommend it.

I have not experienced any of the wobble. I do not regret buying ... Straight, and easy cuts, quickly.

It does wobble. There is a slight crown to the back surface. I notice it when I type on it when it is lying on my desk. The one that I had on my 4 did not wobble. It is still worth the purchase!
