JET Universal Mobile Base, 18" x 18" to 28" x 28", 600 Lb. Capacity (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.

My son and I just purchased a Jet 8" helical jointer which weighs in at over 350lbs. We ordered the universal base on cost and flexibility. It arrived before the jointer in its on packaging which was in good condition. putting it together was a breeze with the different prefabricated slots. Assembly works best with two people although one person can get it done, it's just a little finicky. There are four corners which have to be assembled by sliding the end of one corning into the open slot on the adjoining corner. Easy peasy until you add the last corner as it will bind if it is not in exact alignment with the opposing side. This was a little frustrating at first because the pieces fit so well together, you just have to work at it. Additionally, two of the casters are fixed and the other two swivel so make sure you have them aligned to match how you intend to move the equipment it will be supporting. All casters will lock and once done, the jointer is pretty much immovable. For heavy equipment or other similar things, I recommend this mobile base. It allows us to move the jointer around our workshop with ease.

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.

Well designed, works nicely. Best mobile base I have found. I usually buy the next heavier weight rating base for my recommended load. Weight ratings seem somewhat exaggerated.

So far so good, but I have to say I have a bad feeling that the welds that hold the wheel brackets to the frame will not stand the test of time. The wheels themselves could be a better grade and I would have spent an extra 25 bucks on them if they were. It does what it says it will do, move my 450 pound Jet Pro-shop table saw around. It was easy to assemble and came with clear instructions. I might buy another as my needs grow but my shop/garage doesn't. Before I bought this product I did look into building my own and of course alternative mobile bases. I decided it would not be worth the time and hassle to build my own with out access to a full metal shop. And as for the other bases, they rely on 2x4's or some drilling and mounting of mechanically complex wheel mechanisms. As we all know the fewer moving parts the longer the machine will last. No tool is perfect but this comes as close to it as I need. The easy assembly, mechanically simple and sturdy design, and relatively low price point, especially when compared with any D.I.Y solution, make this a good bargain. As for those welds, we'll see what time will tell.

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.

I love these mobile bases! I have three of them - one for my belt/disc sander; one for my router table; one for my scroll saw. As I have acquired each of these machines, I've researched all the other mobile bases I could find, but none (in my opinion) measures up to the Jet mobile base, at least for my needs. It's super easy to put together (no tools required); easy to adjust; maintains the power tool's position level and low to the floor; has two locking casters (locks are easy to activate and de-activate) and two swivel casters; and is relatively reasonably priced. Operation of the above machines does not put a lot of lateral force on the caster locks, though. I seem to have read one or more reviews where folks thought the locks didn't hold well enough when their particular machine was under use. Maybe that would be the case with a table saw or jointer, but I have had absolutely no problems with the holding power of the locks.

I use three of the 708118 heavy-duty(600 lb) bases and two of the 708119 super heavy-duty (1,200 lb) bases. While never as nice as the factory-specific bases (I have four of those plus two heavies with built-in wheel sets), these Jet Universals certainly work very well, being subject to movement several times a week in my shop. Weight loads range from about 435 lbs up to 785 lbs, with no trace of component failure or wear on the three oldest (about 1-1/2 years of use). They are very stable when locked -- vital because I do not use a powerfeeder and the push loads can be high.I bought these mostly because of a lack of factory-specific bases. I rejected the HTC and other cheapo's out of hand -- Examine them and you'll agree with me. Still, this is a high price for some fairly simple hardware.I did a temporary site setup with six machines recently, two of them on the 708118's and one on the 708119. It was a remarkably easy move using nothing but carefully planned ramps.Well done, Jet.

Espléndido soporte para la movilidad. Muy recomedable para taller o para usos en casa. Lo estoy usando en mi sierra Knova y ha resultado de gran utilidad.

Great product. Easy and quick to assemble. Roller very easily.
