Delta 50-345 mobile base.

[GPA61]

Delta's universal mobile base is on closeout at Lowe's. Regular price was $59.99 and I paid $29.99 today. Lowe's sku #77260. If you are in the market for one, I thought you'd like to know.

Claudio...

Can you post a scan of your receipt? I checked locally, but the in-store price was $59.98. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I bought the last two at the Bee Caves store in the Austin Area. Really needed them.

There you go Scott. Be sure you tell them it is a non-stock item.

Thanks, Claudio!!!

I took in a copy of your receipt to my local store and walked out with a Delta 50-345 mobile base. Relatively painless process, since your receipt was so current and relatively close to my store.

Went by my local Lowes (Greensboro, NC) today at lunch time and saw that they had moved their remaining stock of these mobile bases to the clearance table. I bought one for $29.99. They had (2) remaining.

Thank you Claudio!

I have been eyeing this thing for a while, but $60 plus tax is a bit more than I wanted to pay. Using your receipt worked like a charm.

One question to those more experienced than myself, what is the best material to use for the rails? The instructions call for "hardwood." I would estimate that I'll put a 100 to 150 pound drill press on the base.

Thanks.

Hi Greg,
I used mine for the drill press also. Since it is such a short base I used pine for the rails. Mine is a pretty big drill press too, weighs about the same as yours. Now if you were going to use if for a heavy saw with considerably longer rails, I'd use the hard wood.

Only time will tell if it will hold up, but I don't foresee a problem.
