Is this cart sturdy enough to hold a shop router or miter saw? My husband is looking for a cart so he can place his tools on it and move it.

I believe it is sturdy enough. I find it difficult to push empty. Each wheel seems to want to go in a different direction, but I have not given it its first workout yet.

How much do the shop router or the miter saw weight? It's a really strudy cart, and it has a weight capacity of 500 pounds.

Although the cart is strong and sturdy enough to hold most tools like you mentioned, I would be hesitant to use cart as a work stand. My experience as a life long wood worker tells me this cart would be too narrow to make a stable work surface. It would be very good to store and move equipment around shop, but you want a stand with legs that flare out wider than the work surface for stability and wheels that retract off the floor. Hope this helps.

That is the correct measurement...so plan accordingly! The cart really is a handy tool but not meant for large loads. I find it great for moving seedlings and tools or medium sized bags of soil or fertilizer.I use it often.

We just got a normal cart from Home Depot (got it on sale for $25.00) and used stretchable tie downs to hold it up against the cart. the Cart is light weight and can hold and move an enormous amount of weight. "Milwaukee Hand Trucks with 7" tires" - Folds away nicely.

I actually purchased this as a gift for my mother-in-law, so I'm not sure how to best anwser your question. I did assembly the cart and it was sturdy, but not extremely heavy - I could easily handle carrying it upstairs without any assistance. Hope that helps.

I like mine very much, and it is sturdy. But I only use it as intended -- to get additional counter space by placing it over 2 burners of my stove. In that position, it has the full support of the stovetop, where you wouldn't have that on a cart.

The weight shouldn't be a problem, the only thing I might consider would be if your rack is top heavy? This cart is not very big around.

It is a great cart but I don't think it would handle that kind of weight. You are talking about a heavy load!

I have it supporting a tool box full of machining tools and its not showing any signs of stress. However I don't much care for the wheels, they make a large racket when rolling it across the shop. Ben's answer is pretty spot on with the weights. I like the little cart and find it suited my needs at a good price. The lack of a top level lip going around it was the selling point for me.

I have this cart for my gardening as well as a foldable canvas cart for swim meets. I wouldn't use the mighty max for hauling the canopies, chairs, etc. I don't think it would be stable enough for the weight and size of those items. Plus I don't think it's big enough. It's perfect for the gardening though.

It is a Very Good Product, we use it mostly as a Shipping Cart in our Shop. It could easily hold the Weight, but width wise it might be a Little Narrow

Sure, my husband carries tools on it in his shop so I'm sure it would handle the weight just fine.

This is a great storage cart and i have had no balance issues. If assembled properly, you will find this item to be quite sturdy. To be honest, i know it could easily handle storage and movement of your mixer from point A to B. If you're wanting to run the appliance on the cart, however, I would probably not recommend it. Even with the wheels locked, it wouldn't prevent wobbling.

Hi., I don't use it for that type of purpose, but my guess would be yes, it should be sturdy enough. Make sure you lock the wheels of course.

it should be fine for the cart as long as it is the same width. it is made of pretty sturdy plastic but wouldnt know just how much weight it can handle

I would agree with Donald Miller on this. Sturdy enough for home use. Would support a vice and grinder. May not support what you are planning to use the vice for.

In my opinion I think it would be too unstable. I believe this stand should only be used for a miter saw or router setup.

It's very sturdy and strong, including the shelves. The wood is unfinished, which I don't mind for a pantry cart, but for an office you may want to varnish/paint it. It should work well for a printer.
