Assembly instructions
Use the exploded view and parts list as guides to
assembly. Make all leg and brace fasteners only
finger tight until the entire unit has been assembled.
1. Attach the two short upper braces (#7) to the
table top (#2). Finger tighten only.
2. Place table top with short braces upside down;
use a mat or piece of cardboard underneath to
prevent scratching.
3. Assemble the four main legs (#9) and upper long
braces (#6). Finger tighten only.
4. Determine the height desired, then connect the
adjustment legs (#10) to the main legs. These
can be repositioned later if needed. (It is
recommended that each adjustment leg be
secured by at least 4 screws to the main leg.)
5. Determine placement of lower braces (#13/14),
and assemble them to the main legs/adjustment
legs.
6. Install the leveling foot pads (#12) and tighten
each hex nut (#11) against the adjustment leg. If
using the optional swivel casters, install those
instead of the pads.
7. Turn the unit over and push down lightly to make
sure stand rests evenly upon the floor.
8. Fully tighten all fasteners. Make any additional
leveling adjustments using the pads.
Holes are provided in the lower braces for attaching a
user-made shelf, not provided.
CAUTION: If casters are used, they must be
locked before operating a machine on the stand.

3. Maintenance Features

The JET 728100 Universal Stand is a versatile and robust support system designed to accommodate a wide range of benchtop machines, providing a stable and adjustable platform for various workshop applications. Its primary function is to elevate and stabilize machinery, ensuring a comfortable working height and minimizing vibrations during operation.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Stock Number: 728100
• Table Size (D x W): 20 x 29 inches (508 x 736.6 mm)
• Height Range: The stand offers an adjustable height range from 30 to 35 inches (762 to 889 mm), allowing users to customize the working height to their preference and the specific requirements of the machine being used.
• Height Adjustment: A significant height adjustment of 5.10 inches (130 mm) is available, providing flexibility for different users and tasks.
• Load Capacity: With a substantial load capacity of 400 lbs (181.5 kg), the stand is capable of supporting heavy machinery, ensuring stability and safety during operation.
• Table Material: The table top is constructed from MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) with a vinyl finish, offering a durable and smooth surface for machines.
• Assembled Weight: The stand itself weighs 43 lbs (19 kg) when assembled, indicating a sturdy yet manageable structure.
• Shipping Weight: The total shipping weight is 47 lbs (21 kg).

Usage Features:

The JET 728100 Universal Stand is designed for ease of assembly and flexible use. The assembly process involves attaching braces to the table top, connecting main legs, and then securing adjustment legs. All fasteners should initially be finger-tightened to allow for adjustments before final tightening. This modular design facilitates straightforward setup and allows for repositioning of components like adjustment legs if needed.

One of the key usage features is its adjustability. The stand's height can be precisely set within its range, accommodating different user heights and machine types. The leveling foot pads ensure that the stand rests evenly on the floor, compensating for uneven surfaces and providing a stable base for machinery. For enhanced mobility, optional swivel casters (JET part number 98-0129) can be installed instead of the leveling pads. If casters are used, it is crucial to lock them before operating any machine on the stand to prevent movement and ensure safety.

The stand also includes practical design elements such as pre-drilled holes in the lower braces, which allow users to attach a custom-made shelf (not provided). This feature enhances the stand's utility by offering additional storage space for tools or accessories, keeping the workspace organized.

The stand is compatible with a wide array of benchtop machines from JET and Powermatic, including planers, jointers, grinders, drum sanders, belt/disc sanders, spindle sanders, scroll saws, miter saws, mortisers, band saws, drill presses, and air filtration units. This broad compatibility makes it a truly "universal" stand for many workshops.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features, the robust construction from materials like MDF with a vinyl finish for the table top, and presumably steel for the frame components, suggests a durable product requiring minimal maintenance. The vinyl finish on the table top would likely make it easy to clean spills and dust from machine operations. Regular inspection of fasteners for tightness, especially after initial assembly and periods of heavy use, would be a good practice to ensure continued stability and safety. The ability to replace individual components, as indicated by the detailed parts list, suggests that the stand is designed for longevity and repairability, rather than requiring full replacement if a single part wears out or is damaged. The clear assembly instructions also serve as a guide for reassembly or troubleshooting if any part needs attention.

In summary, the JET 728100 Universal Stand is a highly functional, adjustable, and sturdy support solution for a variety of benchtop power tools, designed with user convenience and safety in mind.
