I must be able to move this band saw around a small shop. Does its base have mounting holes for casters?

Jet sells mobile bases for most of their cabinet machines. I would look into that rather than trying to rig casters on.

Yes, there is also a base that can be purchased that will enable the band saw to be moved around the shop.

The legs have metal or plastic caps on the bottom - it slides around quite easily already. But if you really wanted casters, I'm sure you could add them if you drilled the holes first!

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

Any type of tool can be mounted safely on the portamate. I actually am planning to put several tools on mounts and interchange them on two separate Portamate stands myself. It is an awesome way to use workshop space that is limited in square footage as mine is. My ten inch drill press, benchtop router, chainsaw sharpener as well as my miter saw can be changed with ease in doing so and still provide ample working room within my relatively small workshop.

No. The rails needed are provided. If you have one of the old 113.XXXX You will need to drill some holes in your saw but there is a very easy to follow and thorough instructable.

Don't know. We got rid of this stand and built a custom one. It's difficult to move the stand around because the handle is too short and your feet hit the wheels when walking with it. One other problem with it is that when you extend it to it's highest position, it will not stay put once you have mounted your saw to it. For us, it kept dropping down a couple of inches and would not stay up. We also had a pretty large miter saw mounted on it, maybe with a smaller/less heavy one might do better. I don't know if this is a problem with all of the stands, but it was for us.

The feet already have holes in them where casters can be bolted. I would use caution because it might throw off the balance when all casters are facing the same way. I would also check with the manufacturer to get their opinion . Some casters come with a threaded bolt on top where a not can be fastened.

There is a plastic round disc in the center of the base, not sure if this can be removed and a caster can be inserted. Hope this helps!

They do come with the mounting hardware and they will work with multiple miter saws HOWEVER, they didn't work with my Rigid-brand saw. The holes molded into the cast aluminum base were a different diameter. I honestly think this is the exception, most saws could mount to these brackets using the included hardware. I hope this helps,

The table on the saw is not particularly large, and mine didn't come with any extensions. As I anticipated moving the saw around to various jobs rather than bringing the work to the shop, I purchased a saw stand that is very stable and has extensions.

Yes, I have attached a Rikon 14" bandsaw and a 10 " Craftsman tablesaw to HTC 2000 mobile bases. Woodcraft sales person recommended that I cover the interior bottom of the base to add support. I put the bolts through the corner brackets, plywood and saw base and secured with nuts and washers. It works great.

You need to have a base to bolt it down there are 4 bolt holes in the grinder base ?

Yes. The stand has brackets that attach to the saw and then the saw/brackets clip onto the saw stand. The brackets are adjustable to fit various miter saws. I have this stand and it works great. You will love it.

hello Jo S., on this unit the feet are adjustable (screw on & off) you may be able to find wheels that can screw into the existing holes. But it does have a wooden butcher block top! Thanks!

My saw stand had a set of off-set brackets to accommodate the Hatachi saw. I don't like it but the other option is to mount the saw on a plywood base and mount the base. Ed

Thank you for your inquiry. You can purchase this unit along with a portability kit which includes the casters by searching for CWD1510WPORTK.
