Best Mobile Bases For Table Saws & Power Tools (2025 Review)

If you buy a large, heavy table saw, particularly a cabinet-making saw, moving it can be an issue. I reviewed six mobile bases, and from those, I selected the Shop Fox D2057A Adjustable Mobile Base as the best mobile base for table saws.

As a young woodworker, I purchased a cabinet-making table saw with a built-in planer. It was cast iron and a quality brand. However, the shed I had was tiny and immovable; the saw dominated it, making the space even smaller. In those days, a mobile base such as those we’ll look at today would have made my life considerably easier.

The Shop Fox D2057A stood out from the other options for robustness, quality, and price. Those first two attributes are important, as once you’ve got your table saw on the mobile base, life can get difficult if you’re in the middle of a job and an axle breaks on one wheel or the supporting frame begins to bend.

Let me take you through my analysis of these six mobile bases to assist you in your purchase decision.

Features

There are eight features I value in a table saw mobile base. These are:

• Overall look
• Load Capacity
• Frame Construction
• Wheel construction
• Axle strength
• Castor Brake
• Extras available
• Price

I will review these for each product, with the total providing an ultimate ranking.

The Six Best Mobile Bases For Table Saws:

Best Overall – Shop Fox D2057A Adjustable Mobile Base

The D2057A stood out as a great all-rounder, with a good weight-carrying capacity meeting the needs of a large table saw. I look for strong axles as some bases have pressed steel pins which can shear, buckling structure and leaving you stranded, or toppling a high machine such as a bandsaw, onto the floor. This model has sturdy-looking bolts, which are capable of load carriers.

I’m not a great fan of the screw jacks as I’d prefer them to be foot-operated rather than requiring me to bend down and screw them down or up. Also, the plastic knobs on the jacks are tiny and hard on the hands.

While the metal castors are great, I think they’re a little small and would jam on debris in the workshop. So there are points I would prefer to see improved, but on the whole, this mobile base provides great value for money and is more than adequate for a large table saw. The D2057A is the one I’d buy.
