What can you share about stability under heaving sawing on long boards. Seeing 3 legs makes me wonder even though I see no complaints about tipping.

Not an issue... I have only found one problem with this... I only have one and want another!!!!!@

I've been thinking about a way to build side rails. Most people put it next to a wall or desk to use for balance. It kind of is a disaster. Very narrow with no side rails, so you gotta watch your feet most of the time

There is an adjustment to keep the saw tight on the track. I haven't had any issues with wobble. The safety trigger take some time to get use to. I don't regret buying this saw.

This board is great!! I've had it for over a year now and its still riding strong.. However when it arrives I would check and tighten all bolts connecting the trucks to the board as they might be loose as well as the trucks themselves (for me I ride loose so it was no problem right out of the box) I'm about 125lbs and have had no problems with it, I absolutely love carving downhill on this beauty!

The wobble is a known issue with these saws. I fixed it by adding a piece of glide strip to the track. To be honest, I don't think the wobble hurts anything. I only fixed it because I obsess over dumb stuff like that. :-)

Mike, good question. Several conditional statements. In an indoor studio you should be all see as long as you aren't using a giant softbox. One thing to help prevent tipping is to make sure that one of the legs of the stand is pointing directly at you subject along he same axis as the softbox. Another good idea is weighting the legs down with sandbags. There are some good ones on Amazon for cheap and then get a box of gallon size ziploc bags at the store and a bag of play sand from Lowes or Home Depot. Fill a gallon bag about 1/3 of the way up, then place it in another bag and then inside the sandbag and you should be all set. Works great and durable. I am very happy with my Impact stands.

I am using the legs on several 4'x4' tables I constructed which I use separately or bolted together for hobbies, slot cars, ping pong, etc. I did add detachable metal sway bars and when set up with the sway bars attached, the tables are rock solid. My experience with various hobby and game tables is that sway bars are essential unless all you need is a light weight card table construction. I considered card table legs, but decided my tables needed stronger support. I think it will be difficult to find any legs (folding or otherwise) that without bars, won't sway under weight. Good luck!

I would suggest buying a sandbag or two just for the precaution. It is a really nice stand but it is reasonably lightweight so it is a little prone to tipping (but most stands in this price range would be.)

It's a very solid work surface. I've hammered on it, stood on it, and used it as a table for a miter saw. I normally put another board on top of it so I don't hammer directly on the surface if I'm hitting something metal... But either way it has held up well. (Note that the most recent picture shown looks slightly different than the one I have. It doesn't show the 45 degree angle supports that really lock the legs into place and stabilize the table.)

I agree with ShirralD on the stand. It is a bit more expensive but it is worth the stability. With the legs that come out for support it would be more stable when cutting 4x8's.

Slide has always been smooth for me. The sawdust can cake up on the joints so I suppose I can see the possibility....but not if it's (a) aligned properly at the outset and (b) cleaned occasionally.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

It is stable but it is not be my first choice for long term storage of the saw. I do not store my saw hanging on the stand in an upright position. It just makes me uncomfortable that someone might knock it over and the saw is to expensive for me to risk the damage potential but the stand is stable if you choose to store the saw in the upright position. It is a nice solid stand. Be aware that with the weight of the saw, you need to provide upward assistance when elevating the platform. The pistons are not powerful enough to move the table upward by their own pressure. They are there to assist you in raising the table.

No. It's pretty stable. We've used these in the ocean at the Outer Banks, and, once you're out past the wave line, they're pretty difficult to tip.

Yes, just as you see in the picture. Heavy duty rails that might need support at the end depending on how heavy your frame is. On my Harbor Freight table saw, they tip the table over.

It takes a bit getting use to, but I actually think it is more stable than a regular paddle board because of the shape of the base of the kayak. Not as flat as a board so it provides a little more support in the water. I love mine, although I use it more for kayaking. More relaxing.

Thank you. I am going to make a table to work it on that can tilt a little so I dont have to have it flat all the time, thanks for the info.
