kardar2 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Posted January 13, 2013 Hello All, I really need to free up some space in my garage.I have a big office desk for my scroll saw. I hear that the metal stand really cut down the vibration. Have any of you made you own out of 2x4's or 4x4 ? Thanks for any advise. Kardar2 Quote
Travis Posted January 14, 2013 Report Posted January 14, 2013 I think ti just depends on the desk. Basically, it has to be pretty heavy and rigid for it to cut down on vibration. I think a 2x4 table would work well. I've seen some folks build a box on the bottom and fill it with sand to add weight. When it needs to be moved, they just empty out the sand and move it to where they need it. Quote

I like the other one thought thanks for your guys help. Quote
steviegwood Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 If you make a stand for your saw you might want to make it so that you can raise the back a few inches to tilt the saw forward. If you have not tried that yet I suggest giving it a try. It certainly helped with my back trouble. Steve Quote
