i have a roll around cart with flip up wings for my dewalt 718 chop saw. the brackets for the stand are on it . i drilled 2 holes for the little feet to sit into. the feet on the front of the brackets overhang the front. so all the weight is on the metal part of the bracket. in the year or so its like that it has never moved or poped out of the holes.
the holes dont go the whole way through (storage under it) so the hole fills with dust because the dc on the saw is nonexistant (working on that with a canopy behind it).
i would imagine your kapex would perform better with 4 holes.

I admit I haven't done what you are asking about but I have been thinking about this sort of situation for my upcoming project. You could always mount the Kapex to a piece of plywood and then on your cabinet mounted three cleats that would align the Kapex. Then have the plywood held down by toggle clamps mounted on the cleats.
just a thought.

I have done exactly as you have described- properly spaced four holes to accept "feet" of my Kapex. All I did was use two thin strips of oak, perhaps 3/8" thick, each with two holes. These two strips run front to back and when I place my Kapex in position there is absolutely no need to clamp or other wise secure the saw. I use the Ron Paulk Ultimate Miter Box stand, modified to fit my needs. While in my shop this platform sits on top of a roll around cabinet which houses a variety of other tools. Since this set-up is on casters I can easily move it anywhere in my shop as dictated by the size and length of stock. When I go out on the job I simply set the UMBS on a set of saw horses. In either situation my Kapex simply sits in the correct position without any clamps. I have many hours using this set-up and have never experienced any difficulties with the saw moving unexpectedly.
Hope this isn helpful.
