Not the best way to move a saw. [Posted on 2002-02-02]
I recently purchased this base to move my new Jet cabinet saw in and out of my small work shop and onto the deck in front. There is a small drop (1/2") from one floor to the other. This method of base construction will not allow the saw to make this type of transition. For me that was a big negative. The base is of no use. Also, the base arrived with one of the two taped holes for the wheel locks left blank. Any minimal quality check would have spotted this. When I called HTC they said to tap the hole myself. For what I paid for this base I could have made my own much better. The only good thing I can say is it's sturdy and the finish is good. I guess I'll try to sell it. Look carefully before buyung this base.

WEAK LOCKING MECHANISM ON MOBLE BASE [Posted on 2002-05-07]
I WAS DISSAPOINTED IN HOW ACCESSABLE THE LOCK WAS ON SWIVEL WHEEL AND HOW SECURE IT LOCKED. VERY HARD TO USE

This one is a loser. [Posted on 2002-10-27]
I read all the reviews at Amazon.com on this item and still did not believe that the HTC mobile base could be as bad as some folks say it is. After receiving it, I can say that the reviews were right. Without leveling bolts, the base is useless and the wheel lock-downs are made of cheep materials. The base can be unstable on uneven floors. I stood on the center rail that holds the extended table and my 155 Lb weigth caused the base to sag. This was before the saw was placed on it. HTC said I have 30 days to return it with no questions asked. I would except that I invested [money] and two days to beef it up and put levelers on the thing...

Incomplete, poor quality, flimsy [Posted on 2004-12-11]
I wish I had read the reviews on Amazon before purchasing this item. One of the holes for the brake lock screws was not completely tapped. The hardware for the extension wing was not included. The unit flexes when moved.

I tapped the hole myself, bought some nuts and bolts, and made it work. However, I wish I had purchased the Shop Fox portable base instead. I saw one under the same table saw a few days ago at a Woodcraft store and it appeared to be of much higher quality.

mobile base review [Posted on 2007-01-21]
I purchased this mobile base for my jet table saw with router extension table. This was a bosch promo kit that included the router and router cabinet with two shelves. It was a little unclear as to whether this base would fit, but with the ajustability of the base it was no problem. I believe this is a mediocre base, with a very good value. I have a relatively level floor to roll upon, this was very important as the wheels will come to a stop trying to go over the smallest of obstacles. All in all a good value, but not the best out there.
