SawStopMB-PCS-IND Industrial Saw Mobile Base Assembly with PCS Mobile Base Conversion Kit

I really recommend this base to any Sawstop professional or industrial saw user that needs to have a mobile unit. It lifts the saw and extension table very smoothly, allows the saw to roll around smoothly and with little effort, and it gently rests the saw back down to the floor. It is easy to adjust the piston action as well to increase or decrease the descent. The item and particularly the wheels appear to be of very good quality, I don't foresee this thing breaking down easily.I use this base with Sawstop's professional saw and as such it includes a convertor system (included) that needs installation so that it will be compatible with the smaller base of the professional saw. The instructions are very well laid out and it took about an hour. I was pleasantly surprised at one point during the assembly; one of the steps requires removing some bolts that have been factory installed with some adhesive. The instructions state that they may be difficult to remove, and they were to some degree, but in the process of removing them, some of them got pretty darn stripped and mangled. I was initially a bit upset as I was thinking I was going to have to reuse these but Sawstop includes a completely new set of bolts to be used, with the old removed ones to be disposed of. I appreciated the forethought of the company; it seems obvious but many times I have had to run to a big-box store to find some replacement bolt/screw in this situation.Due to the fact that the base is originally for the industrial saw, it does add a little bit extra to the back side footprint of the professional saw, but it's not much, and the benefit of having this far outweighs having to deal with a slightly larger footprint.

When it comes to evaluating mobile bases, I've had the opportunity to test a range of options of mobile bases, from the abysmal Portamate to the somewhat passable Grizzly, and even the better-than-okay Rockler's mobile base. But when it comes to sheer excellence, SawStop's creation takes the cake. It handled my hefty SawStop table saw with such grace and ease that it felt like a majestic ballet of machinery. The hydraulic pump is a marvel in itself, adding that extra layer of precision and convenience. I can't help but wish SawStop would venture into making mobile bases for all sorts of applications because if their table saw mobile base is any indication, it would undoubtedly be the gold standard. This mobile base is the smoothest operator I've encountered, and its impeccable craftsmanship leaves me in awe every time I move my table saw. If there were a mobile base Olympics, this one would undoubtedly take home the gold medal!

This is an outstanding base. It lifts my Sawstop PCS and extension table with ease, and is super maneuverable. A couple notes:- If at all possible, assemble this before you stand up your saw. Else the instructions tell you to get at least 4 people, preferably 5, to lift the saw and tuck this under.- Assembly with the PCS conversion is rather easy, but I wish I had a longer/better 5mm hex wrench because some of the bolts were very tight and a couple were a little stripped. Little did I know the perfect wrench shipped with my PCS -- look there if you need one.- Mine arrived broken. It is a very odd box for UPS to maneuver (heavy and wide), and must be kept flat. I ended up buying another one at Woodcraft and returning my Amazon-purchased one. Same price.

this does not come with the parts necessary to install on a PCS saw. you will need to order the hardware kit from sawstop if you want to use this on your PCS saw from sawstop. buyers beware. as for the base is super solid! according t o the SAWSTOP employee I spoke too they do not sell amazon the industrial mobile base unit with the hard ware to install on the PCS saw even though amazon advertises that the base comes with it.

I have very limited space in my garage and needed to be able to easily move my saw flush with the wall in a tight spot, so I decided to get this upgrade over the "Professional Integrated Mobile Base", as all 4 wheels swivel. The only downside I see to using this base is the extra few inches of space it takes up.The base came with good instructions and it was easy to install the conversion kit. The only snag I ran into was that I had to adjust the lowering mechanism slightly because my saw wouldn't lower after raising it up, even after bleeding the system.
