JET Universal Mobile Base (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 was the easiest and quickest to assemble mobile base that I have ever used. Counting the unpacking time it was ready to be used in under 15 minutes. I am using the base for the Jet JWBS-15-3 15 " Bandsaw. It handles the weight very well and is still fairly easy to roll around the shop. It is also a very steady base when the saw is running as well. I noticed other reviews stating that their saw swayed but I didn't have that problem. Of course the Jet JWBS-15-3 weighs over 300 lbs, so that may be what keeps it steady. The only thing I would note is that this was my second shipment of this from Amazon. The first one was missing the side support bars. I believe someone simply removed them, resealed the box and returned it as if it was unused. I don't think it's right to hold Amazon or Jet responsible for that. Besides I had the replacement in less than 2 days and UPS picked up the return so the problem while a little inconvenient, really wasn't that big of a deal.

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.

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.

Satisfied. No surprises. Arrived in manufacturers packaging unharmed. It was very easy to assemble and adjust and seems capable of handling my Jet 10" saw with cast iron extensions on the table. I was a bit worried because of the other reviews that said the castors were not up to snuff and the thing might move when ripping large sheets. I suppose that could be true if you were muscling a full 4x8 sheet of 3/4" sheet of plywood across your saw. (definitely set the fixed rollers at 90deg to the direction of cut.). The castor locks, well, they are not my favorite part of this thing. I don't anticipate any issues with my saw moving during the smaller work I typically do and will probably stick a door wedge under the front side of the base rather than rely on the castor locks provided if I am ripping a large sheet and am concerned about precision. With all that said, the joy of pushing my saw around the shop with one hand definitely outweighed the disappointment of the castors!

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

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.

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.
