Remember when you could move your tools freely around the wood shop? Get the most out of your work space with the WEN Heavy Duty 500-Pound Capacity Mobile Base. With two fixed casters and two swivel casters, this versatile dolly is the perfect companion for band saws, table saws, tool chests, gun cabinets, safes, lathes, planers, jointers, drill presses, sanders, and more. This versatile mobile stand fits both rectangular and square bases. The square configuration adjusts from 11.8 by 11.8 inches up to 35.4 by 35.4 inches in size while the rectangular configuration goes all the way up to 51.2 by 19.7 inches. Ball bearings inside of the wheels provide smoother travel and a longer lifespan when compared to other mobile bases available on the market.

And, because its a WEN product, your mobile base comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when your tools could easily roll wherever you wanted them? Remember WEN.

Review: Quality Mobile Base at a Fair Price Point - This a nice unit. It's well constructed of good quality materials. Assembly was easy and straight forward. It was a good addition to my belt/disc sander project. The machine is now easily moved around and the base has no trouble supporting the weight of the machine. I estimate the machine weight at 200-ish pounds. I'm very happy with it.
Review: Great economy option - I'm buying my third one today. I've also purchased a higher end mobile base for a much heavier planer (1000lbs); I can make a bit of a comparison. This base is not as smooth to operate as a $120 base, which should be kinda obvious given the price difference. The adjustable feet seem a little flimsy, but have not broken on either of the bases I have so far. The wheel raising/lowering paddle that you are meant to operate with your foot is the primary reason for a bit of clunky-ness. If you are wearing normal shoes, the lever takes a bit more force than I find comfortable on the top of the foot to lower the tool into the stationary position on the feet. You can kind lift the saw or machine and that takes some of the resistance out of the paddle lever, or you can bend over and pull them both up with your hand. I find I use my hand more than lifting the saw. Even then, it often fights me and the mechanism feels like it is binding. This is probably a byproduct of the need for the mechanism to have some bite to hold the wheel down for rolling without collapsing, but either way it has a hitch in it's git-a-long so to speak. Since I have bought two of them and they both have the same feel, I think it is safe to say that it's just the way they are. When raising the tool back onto the wheels to move it, the levers work pretty well by just stepping down onto them. However, once on the wheels, they do seem to have a little bit more limited ability to turn which I think is caused by the fact that they are essentially not turning on a plane parallel to the ground. You can see this in the close up photo of the caster wheel on the lever. By contrast, moving a much heavier tool in a more expensive base is just a smoother process even though it still requires bending down to use your hands. The wheels on the caster end roll and turn a little smoother because the mounting plate stays parallel to the ground. Making the tool stationary is done by turning two knobs to lower feet, which otherwise hover maybe 1/16" above the floor while moving the tool. Moving it on the wheels is done by turning those knobs the other way to raise the feet. All that said, I would still recommend this base for lighter tools that you want to move around the shop. When you are buying enough mobile bases to move half a dozen tools around, the price difference is a big savings and this base is plenty good even if it feels a bit cheap to use. Giving it 5 stars with price being a big factor. If you want the highest quality feel to your mobile base, this isn't it, but if you want a very functional mobile base for the least amount of money spent, I think it's hard to beat the WEN Edit on 3/3/24: I used my 3rd base on a bandsaw, which is the lightest tool I have on a mobile base. For this tool, these work excellent and the problems stated aren't much of a problem at all. If your tool is only 200lbs or so, these will raise and lower with your foot just fine, swivel and move pretty smoothly, etc. If you are putting it on a tool that's closer to the rated max, like a unisaw or a 15 inch planer, that's when you will encounter more trouble with the raising/lowering mechanism and the angled casters. I'm buying a 4th base for another tool, obviously I still think they are a great value and would recommend them. Even more so for lighter tools like a 14 inch bandsaw.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I would like to purchase two of these to attach together to have swivel/lock casters and feet at both ends. Is this likely possibe?**
A: It would be possible but this base does not have swivel lock casters. The levers lift the casters up so frame rests on feet instead of caster. The casters do not lock.

**Q: Will this fit thepowertec ut1002 stand? apparently not**
A: I believe that your stand is 32-inches X 22-inches so this base will easily fit your Powertec UL1002 stand. The specs say it will fit up to a 35.4-inch square stand.

**Q: When will this ship?  It was listed as Prime and one day shipping!**
A: slowed due to new policy

**Q: will this work with a wen lathe stand?**
A: If the stand is within dimensions listed and weight limits it should work. I've seen videos on YouTube using a Wen workbench caster kit and 2X4s to make a mobile base for a wood lathe stand. I've a few machines mounted on the base your asking about, and they work well. However, I've have decided to go with the workbench kit for my wood lathe stand because it's a little over 4 feet long and I think it will be a better fit. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost great
*by D***R on March 6, 2026*

If you’re looking at this Wen base, you probably already know your way around tools. That’s good because as other reviewers have noted, you’re probably going to need some of that knowledge to get this set up right. Others have commented about quality control. I had a similar problem with parts that did not fit well (judicious use of an angle grinder helped) and mediocre instructions. That said, assembly is not difficult and there are plenty of videos online to assist in the process. Other than an overly tight caster mount on one side (hence the grinder), mine went together easily with a bit of trial and error to get the rail lengths just right. I had been frustrated trying to get the base level when the casters are retracted; even when the casters are folded up the wheels are a bit too large for the rubber support feet to have solid contact without being too high on the caster end. Speaking of the casters, Wen skimped on the ball bearings. They are one or two short of a full complement and they're not lubed. If this was going to be moving the rated 500 pounds on a routine basis I'd be looking for replacement casters. To fix the tilt I turned the caster wheels’ diameter down a bit, and it doesn’t appear to be much of an issue now that I’ve bolted my 125-pound drill press to it. As shown, I did add a ¾ inch piece of plywood for the drill press base to rest upon. I don’t plan on moving this often, probably only during the occasional cleaning of the shop, but I think it will be a good accessory. Fully assembled it’s solid, weighty, and provides a larger footprint for the top-heavy drill press. Minus one star for the fitment and quality control issues.
