Some of you may remember the work stand I posted about in this thread

I decided I wanted the stand to be more adjustable, so I added a "roll" axis to the stand. Now I can position the saw in whatever orientation is most convenient.

Thanks for all the nice comments! Honestly though, my stand is over the top. Made as a "G-job" while I was at work, there is a lot of time and effort in it. If I didn't have access to machine tools I would make one like Freehand's or Mark Heimans. It would be possible to make a production run of a simplified version, but sufficient demand would need to be there.

Nice job Tzed!. What keeps the roll axis in place? That's a set screw I assume? Not knocking it. Just want to know.

I'd be interested in one if you intend to "mass" produce a few. BTW, I like this color, no need to offer any additional color choices! :)

PM me if you come up with a price.

Mark's is the most "build friendly" I've seen.It can all be done with angle plate...:bowdown:

Yes, the set screw. All of the adjustments are held with the three visible setscrews. The bar mount is in the pivot tube with a .001" slip fit so it takes very little pressure to lock it in place.
