Yes, and the flimsy floor wheels can be replaced and mounted on a steel
axle - just drill through the existing sheetmetal base to mount.
Temporary, but far superior to original, and may become permanent!

Another simple modification that I've found a boon when cutting short
lengths of thin stuff, is to mount a piece of angle steel on the outside
of the blade, opposite the vice, to support the work.
There's a handy screw in just the right place, to mount it.
