This mobile base does NOT FIT the new Delta 14" 28-206 BSaw,

It's a great and well made base but unfortunately it does not fit (despite its description of "fits all Delta 14" bandsaws) the new Delta 28-206 bandsaw. You could make it work by bolting a square of plywood to the mobile base then attaching the saw to that. Kind of a pain.

A couple of years ago, I experienced a water line leaking above my Unisaw. By the time I discovered the leak, the cast iron table top and extension had started to rust. I immediately got a Delta Mobile Base to move the saw. I have been so pleased with the setup that I decided to purchase a mobile base for the 14" band saw. My bandsaw is an older model without the black metal casing at the bottom of the enclosed stand. Despite the smaller dimensions of my bandsaw at the bottom, the fit in the mobile base is good, although I may add some 1" lumber (thickness) around the bottom perimiter of the stand to create a tighter fit. The foot lever for elavating the base is easy to operate and when engaged, the base easily rolls on two wide wheels. When stationary, the base is very stable. Whether you need a mobile base due to limited shop space or as a means for protecting your equipment from overhead water lines, I strongly recommend this base - even for older...Read more

I bought the Delta 28-206 enclosed base band saw just today, and I got the mobile base with it so I could set it all up together. It's great being able to move it around, since I have limited space and lots of power tools. The only complaint is I find it a little wobbly, but it probably won't be a problem. And the 94 bucks it cost seems a little high, but I'll someday forget how much it cost, right? I'm definitely glad I bought it. It lifts the machine and sets it back down very easily, but won't roll over a deep expansion groove in my concrete floor very well. But I still like it. Oh, and the saw's great, too!
