snip I have tried a lot of things to help level it with various degrees of success, but none that I am happy with (yet). I was wondering if camper stabilier jacks, like these, would work: http://tinyurl.com/6l6j9 They seem straight-forward, easy to use, and seem like they would certainly stabilize the saw. No - they won't work. I have those kind of legs on my pop-up camper and they work great for that, but I can't imagine them working well to level a piece of equipment. The problem is that you need to extend them a little beyond the length you want, and then as you put weight on them they will shorten (just a little) and lock in place. With the camping trailer it works great to use the front jack to tip it just past the level point, drop the legs, and then go back with the front jack to put the load on them. With a saw you would have to be lifting that side of the saw and trying to set the length all at once. If you go for the scissors style jack, then you can just turn the wrench on each corner to level it out. Gives you nice easy fine adjustment. Those stabilizer legs that you showed are only coarsely adjustable, and not very good at that. Dan |
