Sears mobile base @ 50% off

[ironhat]

I can't tell you if this is nationwide but our local newpaper had an insert with the Sears mobile base at 50% off ='s $39.99. throw your Craftsman Club on the counter and you're really sailing. I have one under my old RAS on a homemade stand (soon to be replaced) and it never hangs up when moving nor does it move when the casters are locked. YMMV.

How would it compare to the Delta mobile base? Lowes has those on clearance for $15, but if the Sears is significantly better, I'd maybe bite...

I have 3 of these and they're decent. I have one under my Ridgid jointer (I had to modify it slightly to make wide enough to fit), I also have one under my C-Man mitre saw that came with a stand (not that it's all that heavy). The only issue I have with them is that they don't fit one of their wider tool stands that I'm using for the 10" BS. I suppose I could pick up a couple pieces of aluminum and make longer pieces easily enough though.

With the Delta base, you provide the rails and can make them as long as needed.

If its this one
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...rd=mobile+base
which it probably is because the normal price is $80, then its the HTC2000 with sears labeling on the package and its a nice base.

Woodcraft also has their version of it at the same price this month.

Afraid not, the style looks much more like Jet's styling than HTC, although it's still not a perfect replica of the JET either

I just got back and took another look at the flyer. I believe that it looks more like Lorings pic than yours, Thom. In addition, the product number in the ad is 22303 and Loring's photo is 22303000. To my eye the caster locks on the top match Loring's as well. But, perhaps it's regional which one they are offereing. I have no complaints about the unit. I believe is see another one in my palm's ease of movement line - or is that the colon line. Either way, it's good!!

Yeah, I hope so ... Loring's was an actual Sears model, I was just comparing the style of construction and it doesn't appear to be HTC's work.

Regardless of who makes it, if I can find the $39.99 flyer, I'll be off to sears to buy 3 of these if they're not like the elusive Delta bases at Lowe's

Funny that it's still $80 on the website tho'

been a couple of years since I looked but HTC used to make Sears' mobile base. But I do know Sears does change suppliers often so it may not be the case anymore.

Here's the corner detail for the HTC - they use the cam levers on two wheels to lift the swivel castors off the ground when locking. And bolts and nuts to connect the overlapped Angle irons for the base. (The woodcraft one ppictured prev. is just like the HTC, pretty sure HTC made theirs)

FOUND IT!

It's a JET 708119

[bearwood]

thats the one . I have two of them I bought for 40...It is better than the delta. a lot less work to put together and smooth operating. Worth the price.

This sale is on in NJ.

[BasementJunkie]

Got one for in-store pickup today. Will pick it up tonight to put under my Craftsman 22104 10" TS. Should beat the sheet of 3/8" plywood I use to scoot it around the floor now.

They also have some deals on work gloves, and you can never pick up enough sandpaper.

Q - which mobile base is better, this one of the Delta at Lowes (if we can find it).
