I am happy with it and would order again from that manufacturer. Of course Amazon saw to it that is was deliverd in a very period of time.
I am short and the basement ceiling is low and I wanted to get at the speed adjustment belt on top of the drill press. I was looking for a low bench to put a table top drill press on that weights about 110 pounds.
It looked solid and worth the money so I ordered it. I searched the internet.
Amazon had it listed. It was easy to assemble and is solidly built.
Thanks Amazon & HTC.
Amazon.com recommends this stand for the Delta 13" planner. But unless you are a midget or one who works on their knees, this 20" table is not near tall enough. Don't make the mistake that I did. Go with the 30" table.
I bought HTC's HBT-320 tool stand and the HRUS-320 mobile base. And, with Amazon's free shipping it didn't cost any more than Sears. In trying to force the wrong cross pieces between the legs, I had pulled out several screws attaching the legs to the top, hence my request for a new top.
Nothing difficult and the instructions are quite good. You do have to leave all the screws loose while assembling the cross pieces as the design puts some tension between the legs and cross pieces. The tool stand requires assembly, including locating and drilling holes in the top.
With the right pieces, it went to together easily. I did get to exercise HTC's customer service when I found the cross pieces included with my unit were for the larger HBT-330 stand. Customer service was very helpful, and the replacement pieces, along with a new top, were shipped without question or any charge.
Compared to the Sears version, this unit has higher quality components and the mobile base fits much better than the generic adjustable bases. All in all, I'm very happy with the stand and the mobile base, and the new drill press fits perfectly on top.
An excellent tool table for any 'bench-top' tool. But it took ten days to ship and five to be delivered. Your local Sears store is a far better source for this type tool.
