I thought I was getting an item with mobile casters but I did not read the description well enough.This item has one caster wheel and two stationary wheels that you have to stop, bend over and tighten a hand bolt to lock. Moving the item around is easy if you have a lot of mobility room but if you have that much room...you don't need the stand. Save your money and look fo a stand with at least 3 mobile wheels and a lift/lower locking type mechanism. Too much trouble to return so I'm going to keep it and eventually put something less needed when I get my permanent shop. Wouldn't buy again and will probably not buy HTC products either.

This was the third moble base I bought for Jet equipment and while I consider the other two (for a band saw and jointer) as really good values, the one for the 30" fence cabinet saw is a hazard. After the saw was delivered I put the base together, a simple opertation, then slid the saw off the pallet and on (or should I say in) to the base. I continued to assemble the saw, alligning, etc, until everything was as good as it gets. Finally it is time to move the saw to its more less perminent home. IT ALMOST TIPPED OVER. Upon examination I could see the reason. The swivel wheel was on the side opposite the motor and table extension. This put the two other wheels near the CG for the unit so any movement tended to tilt the entire unit over almost causing 500 pounds of brand new saw, etc. to tumble. Perhaps I would rate this base higher if I had not been forced to rotate the saw 180 degrees in the base by myself, a nerve wracking task. Once it was turned it demonstrated more stability, but not as much as I think this unit should have. Of the three bases I now have I wish one was the Shop Fox.

This mobile base went together in just five minutes. The steel and wheels are all of good quality material. Caution! When I was cutting a 24" X 48" X 5/8"piece of plywood, the tablesaw started to tip due to only one wheel at one end. This almost cost me severe injury to the face as the blade was still running. Talking to techs at HTC, they tell me I would be better off with the "four wheel" mobile base for tablesaws. This stand is being returned and I am buying the HTC 2000 as recommended by the HTC tech team. The one star is for the quality of this product, not safety.
