Not... I have a SF under my 8" jointer, it's junk. The NT base uses 1 1/4" square tubing as apposed to the 3/4" X 1 1/8" on the SF making it much stiffer. The The NT has steel casters as opposed to crappy rubber ones on the SF. The SF casters have deformed under the weight and now have a permanent flat spot that goes thump, thump, thump every time I try and move it. The NT has 1 1/2" clearance as opposed to the 1" on the SF. While 1/2" doesn't sound like much, it sure helps when going over those big cracks.

In short for the $40 cost of the NT and $40 in steel (total $80) you get a much more functional base that the $80 SF base.

And yes, the SF base under my jointer is in the Que to be replaced with a NT.
