Nice job! !

On another note, I been on the " fence" (Pune intented  [tongue]) about getting a kapex, I have a Dewalt and never thought of using the kapex on the dewalt stand. Was there any trouble lining it up bolt holes? Or was it just that eazy peazy?

Cheers

Thank you!

The bolt holes don't line up perfectly but with a little wiggling it worked !

I also have dewalt miter saw currently sitting at the corner of my garage and complaining that since Kapex moved in I've been ignoring it. I tried to go back few times but it felt like going from driving a Mercedes S class to driving a Ford Fiesta

What did you use for the supports? They look lightweight and adjustable.

Great idea. Can you take a pic of your attachement underneath? Do they pivot?

We all know that the  transition from yellow to green is slow and very costly process and sometimes requires sacrifices.  [big grin]

Sapele wood. Its very sturdy, doesn't wiggle

I picked up one of the security bars from Depot today to see how sturdy it was. It is surprisingly strong for thin gauge aluminum.
