  • HTC and Jet Universal Bases go head to head
Style: Mobile Base HTC2000
I recently decided to put four of my tools on mobile bases. Because of the different sizes of the tools, I ended up buying two from Jet (Jet 708118 JMB-UMB Universal Mobile Base) and two from HTC (HTC2000 Universal Mobile Base). Since all four showed up at the same time, I was in a position to make a head-to-head comparison of them, and decided to write about it. As a result, you'll find this same review under both the Jet and the HTC Universal Base listings. Upon Arrival: All four bases were purchased from Amazon with free shipping, and all four arrived within just a couple of days via UPS. The HTC base pieces were wrapped in bubble wrap inside a cardboard outer box, and the Jet bases were in Styrofoam cutouts inside a cardboard outer box, so nothing sustained any shipping damage. The next day, before I even unpacked anything, UPS showed up again with a bag. Inside were two pieces of thick, perforated steel about 18" long - no note, no explanation, no return address, nothing. It turns out that one of the Jet bases was missing these two pieces. Someone - I assume at Amazon - caught it and rectified it, literally before I knew they were missing. When I examined everything closer, it was obvious that this particular base had been purchased by someone else and returned to Amazon, then resold. Not a big deal, but I think that explains the missing/found parts. Unpacking: I opened up and unpacked one HTC and one Jet base at the same time, to compare parts, instructions, and tool requirements before starting. The HTC instructions were a 20-page stapled booklet in three languages. This is a particular pet peeve of mine, since I feel that if a company is going to sell to a particular country, then the instructions should be in that country's language. Again, not a big deal, just a minor irritant. The HTC parts list showed a total of 108 parts, including nuts and bolts. I carefully compared the list to the actual contents, and found that several of the listed nuts and bolts were not there, with others apparently substituted. More on that later. The instructions listed the tools needed as a 7/16", 1/2" and 9/16" wrench, 7/16" socket, tape measure, and pliers. More on that later as well. The Jet instructions are a single sheet, in English only. One side has the assembly instructions, the other side has a complete parts breakdown. Most of the Jet base is preassembled, so the parts list only has 8 items on it. No tools are listed because none are required for assembly. Assembly of the HTC Base: The HTC base requires a lot more assembly, so I decided to start with that one while my patience level was higher. The instructions are not great, but they're not the worst I've ever encountered. This is one instance where it really pays to read and pay attention to them. The instructions show a couple of different configurations for how to mount the casters. This is a nice feature, allowing you a little more flexibility in how the base will move after assembly. I read through everything, measured the base as instructed (the drill press was the first tool to be mounted), and bolted everything together. The base size can be adjusted in 1" increments. Since the nuts and bolts included with the kit don't match up to what's in the instruction sheet, there's a little head scratching involved to figure out what goes where, but it wasn't too bad. Also, the substituted hardware doesn't match up with the sizes of the listed tools, including some nuts that are metric. An adjustable wrench solved that problem. All the hardware is of good quality - no problems with snapped bolts. The drill press is too heavy to lift straight up and onto the base, but the instructions suggest that you can put your tool up on blocks and build the stand around it. I tried that and it didn't work, I think primarily because a drill press has such a small base in relation to its height, and ended up being dangerously unstable. Instead, I laid it on its side, then tipped it up onto the base. Not ideal, but it worked. I will say, however, that with both the HTC and the Jet base, if you can get some help to lift the tools straight onto the base, you're far better off. All in all - including my aborted attempt at assembling the base around the tool and then having to take it apart again - the assembly took about 2 hours. This is probably not the greatest kit for someone who's a novice at assembling things, or for someone who won't read instructions. Assembly of the Jet Base: The Jet base has two front and two rear corners with the casters already installed. Unfortunately, you don't have the same flexibility of caster placement that you do with the HTC. There are also four side rails that slip into the corner pieces, and are held in place by spring-loaded pins that snap into the holes in the side rails. Adjustment is done in 1" increments. Assembly took just a couple of minutes, with no nuts and bolts and no tools. The first tool on a Jet base was the sander. Again I couldn't lift it straight up and on, but I "walked" in onto the base with no problems. Operation: The HTC has two fixed rear wheels that don't lock. The two front casters swivel, and lock via two bright orange, high-impact plastic levers that you step on. The levers are large and mounted on top of the wheels, so they are very easy to see and step on. With the wheels down, the base moves very easily and the tool feels stable, although it takes a little effort to pivot the wheels into their down position. The Jet has two fixed rear wheels with locks, and two front swivel casters with locks. The rear wheel locks are pretty easy to reach and operate, but the front ones are on the sides of the casters and partially hidden, which I found made them difficult to see and even more difficult to step on. When the wheels are unlocked, the base moves very easily and the tool feels very stable in motion. Stability: You obviously spend a lot more time with the tool locked in the operating position then you do moving it around, so this to me is the most important criteria. With the HTC, when the tool is in the down position it rests on two rear wheels and two adjustable front leveling feet. The Jet stand is always resting on the four wheels. As a result, the Jet base moves more, even when locked. The HTC leveling feet also allow you to adjust the base to conform to an uneven floor, something you can't do with the Jet. But the biggest difference between the two is how the pieces fit and lock together. Because the Jet base relies on side rails that slide into the corners and lock with a single pin, there is a lot of movement between the pieces. The design makes it impossible to tighten any of the pieces to one another - short of drilling the corner pieces and installing bolts - and as a result there is too much flex and movement in the Jet base. The HTC on the other hand, because of all those irritating bolts and nuts you have to install, is actually more rigid. I found a lot less flex in the HTC base, and when combined with the fixed leveling feet, I found the HTC base to be a lot more stable in the down and locked position then the Jet. What Went Where: Sander: The sander went onto a Jet base, and it fits the open stand very nicely. The tool rocks slightly in the down position, but it's a pretty heavy tool, so that seems to add some stability. The wheel locks are hard to reach and operate, but I rarely move this tool, so that's not a big deal. This one remains on the Jet stand. Drill press: The drill press went onto one of the HTC bases, but in the end I found that I didn't like having my drill press on a mobile base. It's so top heavy that no matter what I did, it still didn't feel very stable. I ended up taking it off the mobile base altogether. Router table: This went onto the HTC base as originally intended. It moves very nicely when necessary, and locks down nice and stable the rest of the time. I'm very happy with this setup. Bandsaw: Initially, the bandsaw went onto a Jet base. But as I mentioned above, there was too much flex in the base for the saw to feel very stable. This is also a tool that gets moved more often, and the Jet caster locks were too much of a pain. I ended up taking this off the Jet base and putting it on the HTC that had originally been used for the drill press, and again I am very happy with it in both the rolling and locked positions. The second Jet base was returned to the store. The Bottom Line: Despite the Jet having a clear advantage in how easy it is to assemble, I would definitely recommend the HTC over the Jet. You have more flexibility in the location of the front casters, the caster locks are easier to operate, there is less flex in the frame, and the machines sit down with more stability in the locked position. ... show more

  • Used for a washer and a dryer
Style: Mobile Base HTC2000
During a basement remodel one of the projects faced was re-painting the concrete floor in the laundry area, under the washer and dryer. This (of course) meant having to first move both appliances. Although not that difficult to do, in the process it became apparent why the previous floor paint job had become so badly scratched-up… the washer and dryer’s metal feet literally scraped-off the paint. The reader is probably wondering: “Why do they have to be moved?” Frankly, not often… once a year (minimum) to permit the city water department to perform an actual meter reading (which happens to be directly behind the washer - see photo) to confirm the remote reading. “Only once a year?” Yes, but still… why go to all the trouble of prepping and re-painting only to have it scraped off? Thus, began the search for some method to prevent this. The obvious solution was some type of semi-permanent dolly or platform with wheels. Although Amazon and others offers such appliance bases, they were either too small to accommodate the appliance’s footprint, or (to me) looked less than up to the task of supporting a machine filled with water and/or wet clothes spinning at high speed. So, what to do? Clearly… a larger, more substantial base was needed. My search finally led me to the HTC2000 Adjustable Mobile Base. Although marketed as a base for power tools, it certainly fit the bill in both the footprint it could accommodate and weight capacity, so I ordered one for the washer. While waiting for delivery the floor was prepped, re-painted. It was such a nice surprise to discover it was made in the USA. As such one would expect a clearly written, easily understood instruction manual. Unfortunately, that was NOT the case. The booklet was not much more than a parts list with tiny assembly diagrams. Although this may sound sufficient. It was not sufficient because there were so many fasteners (see photo) of similar sizes and parts that also were similar, making it confusing when trying to determine which was which to go where, when compared to the tiny diagrams. All that being said, my criticism of this product stops here. This base is extremely well made and nicely finished. I will fast-forward for a moment to say I was so pleased; I ordered a second one for the dryer so that the appliances matched side-by-side and to make their tops at the same height. Back to assembly… I strongly recommend you put all the like fasteners, with their washers and nuts, together (examining them closely) and account for all the parts as to their final position when assembled: left, right, front, back, top or bottom. I promise it will be confusing. Just be patient and don’t force anything together. If it doesn’t fit, you likely have it in the wrong place. Also… you’ll need metric tools for some of the fasteners and U.S. inch tools for others. I recommend using sockets and box end wrenches. There are some very small/tight areas these tools much fit into to tighten the connections. Carefully and accurately measure your appliance at the bottom, NOT at the top. I learned the hard way the dimensions on mine were different. As you assemble the base allow for a bit more room. I added 1/4" to 3/8” in each direction, depending upon the adjustments available on the rails. Once the base in completely assembled, triple check your dimensions and be sure that it is square. Once everything is confirmed, re-check all the fasteners to be sure they are tight. Many of them cannot be accessed once the appliance is installed into the base. Most washers and driers have adjustable leveling legs. Although each situation is different, I recommend these be screwed all the way in, as the mobile base has its own leveling legs. Another reason I screwed-in mine was they also got in the way in the following step. You’ll have to decide for yourself on this. Now for the tricky part… getting the washer into the assembled base. Two people capable of together safely lifting the washer are what’s needed. In my situation, only my wife and I were available. While I could lift half, she could not lift the other half. How we finally got it in was a lengthy and involved process of blocking up the machine high enough to then ease the base under it a little at a time. This was akin to moving a house, but on a smaller scale. This took more time than anything else. The base has two fixed rollers on (in my application) the back, with the big lifting wheels in the front. I mention this because side to side movement is difficult. It is not unlike a grocery shopping cart, so plan ahead to allow sufficient space for maneuvering in tight quarters. Pressing down on the large red pedals is what lifts and engages the front wheels. Once engaged I rolled the washer back into its final position then slowly lifted the red pedals. This can be done by hooking your toes under it, then lifting up. Don’t be alarmed when it comes down with a loud “clunk.” Be sure there is nothing under the base that should not be there. The last step is leveling the fixed legs on the front of the base. Even with them fully extended they clear the floor when the front wheels are engaged. A nice feature. Would I recommend this product? Yes, but only to those who have the proper tools and are willing to take the time and possess the skills necessary to interpret the tiny assembly diagrams. Final words… The HTC2000 Adjustable Mobile Base does exactly what I want it to do. As I said earlier, I was so pleased I bought another one for the dryer. I feel the manufacturer is missing a very large market (consumer appliances) for this product. However, if they would ever decide to pursue it they will need much better, clearer step-by-step instructions and perhaps a different color scheme. ... show more

  • Better that expected and very stable for my bandsaw
Style: Mobile Base HTC2000
Got this for a new Rikon bandsaw. At least one review I read noted that this style of mobile base can fail by twisting or misaligning with a heavy load. I found none of those problems. I extended the dimensions to 24 X 17 with no problem. Use the extra bolts to reinforce the joints and no load will be a problem. Moves easily. Only minor thing is that the wheel lockdowns can't be actuated simultaneously without an add-on bar, making raising the base awkward as each corner is actuated on it's own and the tool can tilt quite a bit at that point. ... show more

  • Great base for price, even if stops are a bit finicky
Style: Mobile Base HTC2000
I got this so I could easily move my floor stand bandsaw in and out of position if I needed more maneuverability for a larger cut. It does the job pretty well. The steering is trickier than it might be with 4 rotating wheels, but the trade off is more than worth it for reliability of movement and stability gained. The one thing I found frustrating was the flip paddles for the front stops don’t stay down reliably. Part of this is probably due to adjustments I had to make to get my saw in and relatively level on my garage shop floor, because the floor isn’t level (I don’t know any well made garage that is). It’s annoying, but the mobility given for the price was still well worth it for me and I’m happy enough that I will consider a second one for a future drill press ... show more

When you put a few of these under certain tools like a drill press or an assembly table it opens up possibilities for your workshop layout that you wouldn't otherwise consider. It is strong/ridgid and you can level the feet when it is in landing gear up position. I put a tray on mine to store heavy items to help stabilize top heavy items. ... show more
