I have this base for my jointer and it is very fluid on movement,very well put together.The one and only problem is that it takes an unnessisarily immense amount of effort to lock the wheels ( i finally had to resort to a pair of huge channellocks-not a good idea for plastic knobs)The weight of the machine appearantly is the cause of this.

I prefer to spend more money on mobile bases that fit specific machines. No assembly hassles and 1 piece solid construction.
If my wife let me have more time I'd just mig weld my own frames together, and use GOOD wheels.
That's my only complaint. That front locking wheel is one of the cheapest wheels for the purpose. This particular piece of equipment gets moved round in my shop alot. Locking and unlocking is erksome but I can live with it for awhile longer.
What I'm inclined to do is buy a better wheel and on my next mobile base purchase just get some better wheels to upgrade during the assembly process.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not perfect, May 24, 2003

This review is from: HTC HSJ-678 Mobile Base for Jet JJ-6CS 6-Inch Jointer (Tools & Home Improvement)

I did not have the problem locking the base down the way the other reviewers did. But one must note that this base is not an exact fit for the Jet 6" jointer. The machine "swims" a couple of inches on the base, which can obviously be a problem when putting pressure on the tool. I solved this by drilling through the Jet flanges right through the base and bolting the unit to the base with short Hex bolts with washers and nuts. Now it's very solid.
