What are the rubber feet for? When sitting on my bench, the saw rests on the feet yet they seem too small to provide enough support or last very long

mine didn't have rubber feet, I set mine flat on a plywood table.and put screws to hold it in one place.

I've had this saw for ten Years and I have never had a problem with it. The rubber feet hold well, there are also screw holes in the base for extra holding power. I'd highly recommend it.

They are functional. this saw has been great for me. I don't use it on a bench I use the stand but build a work area around the saw to provide a bigger work area.

I have not tried to extend capacity, but I don't see an easy way to do it. Think of the saw as a portable table saw, rather than a full-sized one. That said, if you have a stable auxiliary table and a few clamps, then you should be good to go.

Stand itself when folded or collapsed is no more than 3". Sounds like you're talking about the saw though!

The question is not understandable because the band saw does not have "tires".Previously, I gave a complete answer to a question about this machine and the needed "base" to give mobility.Someone at Amazon should have access to that answer. rlp

When I first got the saw, yes there was a lot of side to side wobble. I pulled the plastic strips the saw runs on off and placed them as far apart as possible. The saw is now rock solid when it's on the rail. Another change I made was I cut out about 1" of the spring that holds the saw in the up position. This still holds the saw up but drastically reduces the wrist fatigue when using the saw. It makes it much easier to hold down when reaching across a 4' wide sheet. (Check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vqqcmC5UY5E) After making these changes, I have absolutely no regrets in purchasing this saw. I'm much happier with it than a homemade edge guide and a standard circular saw. Hope this helps. When I first got the saw, yes there was a lot of side to side wobble.

Lowes/Home Depot sell rubber feet with a peel/stick backing. Use one of those under the short foot.

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. :-)

That's what I have mine on. Works great. It does add a little bit of height to the saw when off the miter stand, in case that makes a difference for storage or if you have a workbench setup for it.

I have my old table saw mounted on a Grizzly base with wheels, and find it to not only NOT be a problem, but the router table/attachment works quite well.I am using an OLD Black and Decker router bought in the late 70s for which there was no mounting plate available.So, I drilled my own holes and then bought a new router for those times I want a hand held machine.

You could bolt it to a work table if it was big enough and sturdy enough. You wouldn't want any danger of the table tipping over. I personally use it sitting on my front porch (concrete) and I stand on the ground so the saw is about 3 feet off the ground, which is about waist high for me. This is perfect for my needs. I like it not being bolted to anything so I can put it away when I'm not using it. I hope this answered your question. I love this saw. It has been a real time saver!

Previous responses are on target. This is smaller than the typical "sawzall" and well suited to similar but smaller tasks. Is very well-suited to cutting in tight places where a larger saw may not fit.

Don't know. We got rid of this stand and built a custom one. It's difficult to move the stand around because the handle is too short and your feet hit the wheels when walking with it. One other problem with it is that when you extend it to it's highest position, it will not stay put once you have mounted your saw to it. For us, it kept dropping down a couple of inches and would not stay up. We also had a pretty large miter saw mounted on it, maybe with a smaller/less heavy one might do better. I don't know if this is a problem with all of the stands, but it was for us.

I use it on a wooden chair or on a small wooden side table when using it for my arms and the weight of the unit and the feet on the unit keep it place. I was going to put softer rubber coushions on the feet but I didn't need them.

I only own xrp batteries and service time depends on how hard I work the saw. For big jobs I use a corded saw. Over time I have noticed that the receiving contacts in the handle of the saw wear out and power cuts out. Maybe the vibrations loosen the contacts but one saw failed twice even after factory repairs.

Hello Mark, the dust collection system on this saw is not very good. The saw dust collects in the sliding rail bump stop located towards the rear and if not cleaned often the saw will not have the full sliding capability. Thanks, Calin

I run my ten inch hitachi miter saw on it. Had to mount it to a piece of 3/4 plywood then mounted stand feet to the plywood!! Works great!

I wish i could help you but the outfeed worked on my saw just fine. I ended up building an outfeed table for it since this being a bolt on addition as opposed to part of the saw was just not as sturdy as it should have been.
