HTC - Universal Mobile-Base 2000
HTC’s universal mobile base can carry as much as 400 lb.Mobile bases offer the convenience of being able to relocate machinery easily, allowing woodworkers to use shop space efficiently. The foremost requirement for a mobile base is that it be strong and stable. It must not buckle under the weight of a machine, and it must not wobble while the machine is in use. It is an added benefit if it transports a machine with ease and if its handles and foot levers are easy to see and to use.
I tested seven mobile machine bases, both dedicated and universal, to move a couple of bandsaws around the shop. They ranged in price from $50 to $100 and offered a good cross section of what is available. One of the top performers, HTC universal base offers 30-day trial and lifetime guarantee on all parts. Its wheels are narrow and soft and maneuvered well, but debris tended to get stuck in them.
