Thanks guys, I should have the new base next week and will report back.? I was lucky to find that on Fleebay fairly reasonable, I saw a price from Jet somewhere that was over $700!
I checked my existing stand and it's only 0.045" sheet (maybe 20ga with paint?), hopefully this will be better.? Plus my wheels are forward of the legs like John's, the newer design has them in the legs...
