JET Universal Mobile Base, 18" x 18" to 28" x 28", 600 Lb. Capacity (Model JMB-UMB)

The JET JMB-UMB Universal Mobile Base has been a fantastic addition to my workshop, offering both mobility and versatility for my heavy machinery and equipment. This mobile base has made moving my tools around the workshop a breeze and has truly transformed my workspace.One of the standout features of this mobile base is its adjustability. It can be easily expanded from 18" x 18" to 28" x 28", making it compatible with a wide range of tools and equipment. Whether I need to move my table saw, planer, or bandsaw, this mobile base can handle them all with ease.The build quality of the JET JMB-UMB is exceptional. It feels sturdy and robust, capable of supporting heavy loads up to 600 pounds. The solid construction gives me peace of mind knowing that my valuable tools are secure and stable while in motion.Setting up the mobile base was straightforward. The assembly process was well-documented, and all the necessary hardware was included. Once installed, the base glides smoothly on its heavy-duty casters, allowing me to effortlessly maneuver my tools across various floor surfaces.The foot-operated levers for raising and lowering the base are a thoughtful addition. They provide quick and convenient height adjustments, allowing me to position my tools at the desired working height without any hassle. The locking mechanism holds the base firmly in place, ensuring safety during operation.Another notable advantage of the JET JMB-UMB is its compact design. When not in use, the base tucks neatly under my machinery, taking up minimal space in my workshop. This feature is particularly beneficial for smaller workspaces where maximizing floor space is essential.One small improvement I would suggest is adding rubber or non-skid padding to the base's contact points. Although the base is well-designed to protect floors from scratches, a little extra grip could enhance stability further.In conclusion, the base has been a game-changer in my workshop. Its adjustability, solid construction, and smooth mobility have simplified the process of moving heavy machinery. This mobile base is a must-have for any woodworker or DIY enthusiast looking to enhance the efficiency and organization of their workspace. I highly recommend it for its quality and value.

This base is very easy to put together. NO tools are needed and is heavy duty and easy to roll around with a heavy tool on it. It has locking casters that are easy to use

A very well-built product and much easier to assemble and use compared to some of the other "universal" bases out there. This was sold as a bundle from Amazon with the flip table. Both assembled easily and were sturdy. Problem is, the base is too small for the workbench they're selling it with. I reached out to Jet in case I was crazy or had put one of them together incorrectly. They confirmed these two items are not compatible.

This is one of the best mobile bases available today and it has been for the past several years. Easy to assemble and adapt to most machine bases. Rolls easily and great for DP's. Has a low center of gravity for tall tools. Ve had several over the years and the quality is always the same. Hopefully Amazon continues to carry this product.

At first, when considering my JET BAND SAW purchase, I was pretty sure I didn't need a rolling base. Then I thought, How am I going to move the saw around to its final resting place with BRUTE FORCE? I am not someone who has 'brute' built into my physique. So the ROLLING BASE became part of the picture. The saw is top heavy, the rolling base is sturdy, but not ROCK steady. You can deal with that with home-made shims. The base has wheel locks that are OK..... not industrial. And lastly, putting the rolling base together was very easy.

After reading reviews of the HTC 2000, and knowing about the Delta UMB from personal experience, I decided to give the Jet a shot. I am glad that I did. Before getting to the review, though, five stars to Amazon's shipping department which shipped this product within a couple of hours of the time I placed the order. It hasn't arrived yet, but I bought a second one from my local tool shop. (OK, I'm weak. I couldn't wait.)This mobile base was very simple to set up. The spring-loaded pins locked firmly in place, and I was able to perfectly size the base to the cabinet of the 8" jointer that now rests on it. To ensure stability, I cut a sub-base from 3/4" ply, placed that on/in the base, and then placed the jointer on top of that. I then bolted the two side tabs on the jointer cabinet to the ply.With the wheels running opposite the length of the bed, the jointer does not move at all when being used. When it does get moved, though, it is very smooth and confident. I can't give five stars - those wheel locks are an unfortunate wart on an otherwise excellent accessory.

I purchased the Jet brand mobile base for my Jet bandsaw because I thought it would be the best fit. I was wrong. I have extra space between the base and the bandsaw on all 4 sides allowing for sawdust collection and wiggle while moving. If I did this again I would probably find caster wheels and screw directly into the holes provided for the rubber feet. I would have a better outcome and saved money. I have several Jet products and love them, but the mobile base is a disappointment.

pay attention to assembly, look at a few pictures to make sure you get the wheels going in the right direction with the brakes on the side you want before you put a super heave object on it. Once it's all together it's works awesome. Holds my bandsaw rock steady while I use it so I'm not worried about tipping while pushing wood through the blade.
