The bolts they give you to attach the saw to the stand are a bit ridiculous, I don't see most folks taking the time to fiddle with them. I used this stand with my saw while putting down about 700 sq ft of laminate flooring. I might try longer ones or something else, but you probably don't really need anything, the weight of the saw and the design of the stand seem sufficient to keep things in place. I used some cotterless hitch pins based on the suggestion of one of the other reviewers, but I don't feel like they really added anything. Our house has lots of odd angles, so there were plenty of long angled rips of the flooring. The saw was rock solid on this stand, I never felt it move, tip, shake, etc.
Read my review of the saw in epinions.com. I'm 6' 2" and I would like the table to be a good 4 - 6" higher than it is. I've gotten used to it, though, and I'd buy another. I thought this item was a bit overpriced, but after using it for a while in a fairly intense remodel job, I'm happy as can be. Thanks, again, DeWalt, for another two very well designed products. I can shove a 2x12 through the saw and there is never a tendency for the stand/saw to tip over backwards. The stand is way more stable than it looks. My only issue is that it is not height-adjustable and it is too low for me.
Fits well and is solid, would buy it again anytime. This stand is very sturdy and comes with bolts to hold the saw securely to the stand.
Even the 5'9" guy on the job says so. My only complaint is that its 5" too short. Good stand. It holds the saw securely.
Dewalt. I use it without bolting it down each time, I just place the saw on the stand and start using it.
I have not had any problems using the saw without the tie down bolt thus far. To Dewalt's credit, the stand does hold the saw on quite well even without the bolts.
This is a must have accessory for the Dewalt DW745 portable table saw. It seems like some kind of quick connect/disconnect system would have been a much better choice for a portable saw system.
I am only giving it 4 out of 5 stars because it is designed to use 4 bolts and wing nuts to attach the saw to the stand.
this is a portable saw, who wants to take the time to bolt down the saw each time it is moved.
