I found this while looking for something else. I'm pretty sure I don't want one. But since I saw it and figured we all have different things the float our boats I'd share. Hey maybe someone here has one and can tell us about it??

My boat kinda floats on this. I like the features and that it's light weight and portable. Very versitile.

That looks perfect to go along with my Shopsmith. How sweet is that?:)

I definitely do not want that guy in the black shirt any where near any thing that 'resides in my shop'!:eek:

I Would Not Mind Having One But Not For $350.

I think it looks quite useful. Maybe a good companion for a nice saw guide. Yes, a little pricy, but then again we are all Shopsmith fans.
It should be pretty easy to make one from any number of materials including about all wood which would likely be cheaper to replace than the plastic in the event of an oops.
BTW, it would only need to be made to fold up if you didn't have room to leave it out. I could see it made made up solid with a separate solid top made so it would lay on it but not slide around to use it also as an assembly table.
At the very least a good source of ideas.
Thanks for sharing it Ed.

Sitting looking at the picture I found I think that about the worst part of the design looks to be the rounded lower legs that place the floor contacts far too narrow. A more step ladder shape to the lower legs would give it a much wider stance. That would be important to me.

Agreed unbless it is wider than it appears to be. If it spans about 4' between the feet, it would be okay for me.

I wonder if they make a
right hand version?

a lot of nifty features. The basic cutting table ones can be had from the Eurekazone EZ smart table. This one has a lot more features, but its pretty pricey. It also is bigger than I would like.
I like their use of the channels as places to brace things like pipe and such...times when you don't need a clamp or vice, but still need the workpiece to stay put.
The riser setup is basically the same as the riser based benchdogs that rockler has. The hanging rack is a neat idea.
