3.0 out of 5 stars
OVERPRICED, May 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Jet JMB-JWBS18B: Mobile Base For 708750B (Misc.)
Sturdy steel frame, but puny little wheels with wimpy friction locks and cheap black plastic star wheel screw-downs to lock the two front wheels. Should cost half as much. Private-labeled by HTC for Jet, and Jet must make a huge mark-up on this item. They could spend an extra few dollars and at least offer industrial-strength value for the price.

Replace the Plastic Knobs that Lock the Wheels, May 8, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Jet JMB-JWBS18B: Mobile Base For 708750B (Misc.)
P.S. The wimpy little plastic star knobs that one turns to lock down the front wheels are difficult to grasp and twist with sufficient torque unless you have extremely small hands and very strong wrists. I replaced the knobs (5/16"-18 threads) with two simple ratchet handles that are commonly used on jigs and fixtures. You can buy them about anywhere. I got mine from TWC (part # 00689) for a few bucks each, and they are a significant improvement. Not a huge deal unless you work in a small space and have to move your equipment frequently, as do I.
