They even carry leg sets. ;-)

Well what could go wrong with a steel stand?* I might buy one of
those if I needed one.* ;~)

Personally you couldn't give me one of those stands.
If you're a woodworker, particularly a hobbyist with limited space,
why not build your own?


Not be argumentative but the materials to build one, coupled with the
time to make it is probably going to cost me more than the HF model.


Ya gets what you pay for. If you can't afford a few construction grade
2x's to build a tool stand/cabinet, then you probably can't afford to do
much in your shop other than stare at your tools.

I understand a commercial shop might have a lots of space, and little
time to waste not producing money items, but that applies to few, if any
in this newsgroup.


Well, I have little time because I'm still employed but I have all the
space I need. I have about 2000ft^2 of unfinished basement. ;-)

I have enough room that none of the tools has to be moved. I do move
the lunchbox planer and drum sander to get them closer to the dust
collector.

They start off wrong because they have no storage, so waste whatever
space they use. Build a wood cabinet for your stationary tools, fit it
with drawers/shelves and you are good to go, and you have more space
to store all that stuff...



There is that!* ;~)* Although I lay a piece of plywood on top of the
lower braces/supports.
