The Powermatic 2042376 Mobile Base for 60C,60HH Jointers is a machine base accessory built for woodworkers who need to move a large stationary jointer without giving up support or stability. This is a mobile base designed for repositioning compatible jointers around the shop. Model Number 2042376. If your jointer does not leave much room for cleaning, material handling, or workflow changes, this accessory solves that problem in a straightforward way.

What matters here is not just that the machine can move, but that it can be moved by one person. Both the product description and feature data point to exactly that use case: equipment that normally feels planted in place can be rolled and rearranged for special projects or day-to-day shop changes. For a crowded woodworking shop, that means easier cleanup, better access around long stock, and less frustration when you need to change your layout.

The frame is made from heavy-duty welded tubular steel, which is the right construction for this kind of accessory. A mobile base only earns its keep if it can support the machine without feeling flimsy or flexy, and the steel frame is the main reason this one makes sense for a stationary jointer setup. It is built as a purpose-fit accessory for specific Powermatic machines rather than a generic universal stand.

The wheel setup is just as important as the frame. This base uses independently locking wheels so you get two things that usually matter most in a shop: mobility when you need to move the machine, and stability when it is time to work. Roll the jointer into a better position, lock it down, and get back to jointing without the machine feeling loose under load.

Compatibility is the big buying point on this accessory. It is intended for the Powermatic 60C and 60HH jointers, so this is not a one-size-fits-all cart. If you already own one of those machines, the value is obvious: you keep the jointer you trust and add movement to it instead of redesigning the whole shop around where it sits.

At 21.6 lb, the base itself is substantial enough to match the job, but it is still an accessory rather than a bulky platform that adds unnecessary complication. This makes it a practical upgrade for serious hobbyists, small professional shops, school shops, and anyone working in a garage or basement space where every square foot has to work harder.

If you have a dedicated large commercial shop where the jointer never moves, you may not need a mobile base at all. But if your space has to serve multiple tools, multiple operations, or occasional layout changes, this Powermatic accessory does exactly what it should do: it makes a heavy jointer easier to live with.

If your jointer is always in the way until the exact moment you need it, this is the accessory that fixes that without turning the machine into a compromise.
