Can you put the gooesneck down to only a few inches from the surface of the area you are working on? Or will it fall forward?

Yes you can but only if you do it going down. Not straight out and down. I wonder if I can post pictures here.
1041059
Yes, you can. It will not fall forward. But sometimes then my hand and tool don't fit.

I just adjusted the gooseneck and placed the magnifier 2 1/2" from the table surface with good stability (you probably would be able to place it even closer). The gooseneck is strong, and the base is quite heavy.

You can bend it all the way so it is less than 0.5" away and it won't fall over. Base is nice and heavy.

The base is quite heavy. I cannot make the lamp fall over no matter how the goose neck is positioned.

NO, it must go straight down. Rails on both sides prevent sideways waste. You could go backwards if needed.

Yes. I used prepaste activator to hang it, and it still comes down easily. My husband and I hung a section that we needed to rehang and it came down nicely, there was nothing underneath to scrape off. Also, the end result is gorgeous.

No. You want the barrel to rest in the bottom of the hanger. The max distance at the top is less than 2".

No it won't. of course you can separate the top from the lower part, that's all you can do.

No, not without feeling like you are going to break something. I have it fairly snug in my routing but it is about 2 inches.

Not very easily. It is very difficult to control, and if you move even a fraction of an inch, it could break and fly off and hurt you. Use a drill press!

no way, this is good for a few inches in awkward places when other tools won't do. if your doing more than taking out a few inches, find something else.

I set my level on the floor and 4 3/8 inches is as low as it will go. If you use a spacer for putting the base down you can go lower.

Probably not. It is more set to screw into a flat surface. I use the board without it being screwed down. It is a nice board. Especially for the price.

Yes, as long as the angle is good. If you have it too shallow then it doesn't stay.

Just set in on a flat surface and push that mofo down. It's not a smooth design, for sure. Good luck.

Probably not. It only goes straight out well. there is about 1* of angle to point down, but I don't think that would help much.

it would still work , just will not reach as far across . I suggest starting in center and hanging it so equal on both sides

To solve that issue I build a sled that I place the work piece on. On the outside edge of the sled (the edge closest to you) is a 3/4" fence that the edge guide slides along. This puts the work piece edge 3/4" away from the guide so you can work as close to the edge of the piece as you want. It might work without the fence/sled but I have never tried it.

Will tilt back about 6 inches past the vertical point you set it at, if you really push .

Great question. I suppose if the corner you were trying to make was not much deeper than an inch. Unless it was really thick.
