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. I used this stand with my saw while putting down about 700 sq ft of laminate flooring. The saw was rock solid on this stand, I never felt it move, tip, shake, etc. 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. 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 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. Read my review of the saw in epinions.com. 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. My only issue is that it is not height-adjustable and it is too low for me. Thanks, again, DeWalt, for another two very well designed products. I'm 6' 2" and I would like the table to be a good 4 - 6" higher than it is.
This stand is very sturdy and comes with bolts to hold the saw securely to the stand. Fits well and is solid, would buy it again anytime.
Good stand. Even the 5'9" guy on the job says so. It holds the saw securely. My only complaint is that its 5" too short.
Dewalt. 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. I have not had any problems using the saw without the tie down bolt thus far.
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. It seems like some kind of quick connect/disconnect system would have been a much better choice for a portable saw system. I use it without bolting it down each time, I just place the saw on the stand and start using it.
