This is sufficient to support 4.8m timbers, and because the timber
supports (one either end) and the saw are all on a common base - it's
all completely level and square.


I can't see how is sufficient for 4.8m timber, it's just 3.7m long or
1.85m either side of the saw line. If lopping off say 100mm from a
4.8m length there will be 2.85m overhanging the end of the left hand
support, more than enough for it to overbalance the free end.
