MOBILE BASE
The product comes already assembled and easily fits on the base of the Delta Jointer. The lift works well and the base seems like it will be more than adequate to do the job. It rolls well even on my uneven floor. Very pleased with the purchase of the base and it was delivered promptly.

Great Product, But One Design Flaw
Amazon supplied me the Mobile Base, Delta 50-333, that goes with my 6" Jointer, Delta 37-275. Shipment was quick, and I'm very happy with the Mobile Base purchase.

The Base is generally well designed, beautifully made, and easy to assemble. Moving the 225-lb. Jointer is a breeze using the Base, yet the Jointer is stable for use when the caster wheel is raised allowing the 2 corner feet of the Base to contact the floor (4-point support).

One safety flaw in the Base: it doesn't appear that the mounting hole patterns in the Base & Jointer were designed to match up. There are 8 mounting holes in the bottom of the Base and 4 mounting holes in the bottom of the Jointer, but a bolt will go through both at only one corner.

The top-heavy Jointer should be bolted to the Mobile Base at all 4 corners because otherwise, the Jointer could tip over if you hit a bump moving it around or in the event of a mild earthquake. If the Jointer could be bolted to the base at all 4 corners, it would be much less likely to ever tip over.

Mobile Base
This product was easy to assemble and adapted nicely to the piece of equipment it was ordered for.

Even works on a Jet.
Assembly of the base goes quickly, 4 bolts, a couple of nuts and your done. The base is very well made. When the swivel wheel is in the up position the base is rock solid and doesn't move. Very little effort is needed to lock the wheel in the down position. It is very mobile, and makes moving your machinery very effortless. This is one of the nicest mobile bases on the market. It will fit a jet 6" jointer, you just might have to cut off one of the bolt down tabs on the jointer first. Which isn't to big of a deal since the mobile base is pretty solid to begin with, and you probably weren't using those bolt down tabs anyways. Overall this is an exceptional product, and I have no problem recommending this product to anybody.

Rollin' your joint(er)!!
This is my second Delta 'custom fit' base. It fits just as it should and rolls decent even on my fairly rough older basement floor. Even with a top heavy tool like a jointer, it is pretty stable while rolling, you'd really have to do something silly to tip it over. If tipping is a fear, see my last paragraph!

It comes to you with the third wheel and foot lever detatched, and that goes together in less time than it takes to find the wrenches to do the job . . . even if your tools are organized. I give it 5 stars since it's the best thing out there for your jointer and goes on simply.

If you have a garage shop and rough transitions out to get to your driveway (bumps over 1" high, grates, etc) and need to roll past those to use your tool in the driveway, I would not recommend this base . . . you may in fact be better off building something.

My other base from Delta is on a Jet 14" closed base band saw . . . it's made for Delta's 14" Band saw, and the Jet base has a smaller footprint. For that reason, I bolted a piece of CDX plywood onto the base through the existing holes, and then mounted my bandsaw to the wood the same way. That allowed me to add a 50 lb. bag of gravel inside the cabinet (sealed neatly in the bag, not dumped in), giving me more mass and stability than the saw had before the base was installed. I may do the same with the jointer, time will tell.
