DELTA 50-941 Mobile Base Reviews
I purchased this for my Steel City 35670 because I read this saw, the Craftsman 22124, and the Delta 36-715 were all basically the same saw made by Orion. So I figured if it fit the Delta, it'd fit my SC. Put the base together (simple assembly) and tried to put the saw in it...the bolts for the kick stand wheel were just enough in the way to prevent the saw from seating in the base. After removing the wheel the saw fits PERFECTLY in the base (I had to lower the saw strait down onto the base to get it in, it's exactly 19.5x22) but still needed to get the wheel back on. Drilled 3 holes through the base of the saw where the bolts lined up and got some longer bolts. LOVE IT.

50-941 mobile base - D. Boyle -
As others have noted, this is not the right base for the 28-276 band saw even though it is listed as such. It is however cheaper. I drove a couple of slightly over sized wooden spacers in the front and it works fine. There is a little lateral space that I didn't fill since the tight front spacers seem adequate to prevent movement.
Not Thrilled - Barry Band Saw - New Hampshire
I was disappointed to find that although the Delta Band Saw (#28-276) does fit loosely into the mobile base, the base is not designed to allow the saw to be bolted to it. The fact that the fit is not snug means the saw sometimes shifts its position when the unit is being moved, and I am concerned that it might also shift while being operated. One solution is to bolt a plywood platform to the saw base that is sized to fit snugly into the mobile base, thus preventing the saw from shifting. That is not a project I expected to have to take on when I ordered the base!
