Product depth 22" and 37 3/4" high. Does this mean its table top is 22" front to back? If so, then the leg span, front to back, is 20" or less. That might be iffy for stability, with Bill's saw's weight and any beefy lumber, as high as it will be. A couple of the reviews said it was wobbly, but didn't say why.

The leg span of my sawbuck, front to back, is 25", table top is 35 3/4" high. I've never had any stability issues.


MM Oh no... this is going to be a long thread - I can just feel it!


LOL.

Temporary stand? Several half-lap jointed 2X4s in a narrower-at-the-top "H-A" frame assembly (wide front-to-back footprint), X2, then heavy-duty hinged to each end of a table top's frame, makes for an inexpensively made stand. Install leg extension stops. Optional: A few wheels on an axle makes for the mobility.
