Content: This is a really good quality after-market mobil base for heavy shop equipment. I've used it under a Powermatic #66 table saw so I can use this super saw in a small shop and move it where I need it. The base is very stable and easy to 'park' and lift back onto the casters. Although I don't have a good basis for comparing this to other mobil bases, this seems a great value at under $80 when compared to the Powermatic base at over $200.

Content: with other positive reviews and other stores having it back ordered, thoguth it would have been a good product. After two hours of fussing with it, teh brakes dont work and to quote my head of props it was a POS. so out into the dumpster it went. Save your money and find a better unit. This one is made in china and apparently without too much in the way of quality control.
Summary: ended up in the dumpster

Content: I bought this for my Craftsman contractor saw. I have two cast-iron extensions, so it weighs a bit more than most similar saws. It is also well below the rated capacity of this base.
I set mine up for 24" x 28", which is doable, but barely, with the rails as supplied. I ordered the extension rail kit from HTC for an additional cost. It was worth it to me, as I wanted the most rigid base I could find. I also put floor of 3/4" plywood inside the base to tie it all together.
The results are spectactular; the base easily handles the load and it is both easy to move around, but also quite immovable when put into position.
It is exactly what I had expected when I ordered.
Summary: Works great

Content: This HTC 3000 "heavy duty" mobile base is supposedly rated for 700 pounds, but I mounted my Grizzly 10" cabinet saw (less than 500 pounds) on it and, after moving it less than a half dozen times, one of the casters has completely disintegrated and a second one is coming apart. And this is on an absolutely smooth concrete floor. I tried without success to find a manufacturers number/contact to complain with no luck. Fine if you have a light-weight piece of equipment, but don't try putting anything near the "700 lb. capacity."
Summary: Not suitable for heavy equipment--

Content: What's killing this product is that HTC went with cheap plastic lifting pedals that raise and lower the base. Mine lasted for about 2 years and then both pedals cracked. My table saw weighs 450lbs. The floor I am working on is flat, I move my saw about 5 feet each time and I have never left the base stay in a raised position for more than 2 minutes. I'm going to contact HTC to see if I can get a couple of replacement pedals (at a reasonable price). Make the investment and go with a base that does not use plastic pedals as this is the critical leverage point for the entire base.
Summary: Poorly Designed
