If we add an extension to the new one, a floor stand would be nice, but a long metal plate running the length of the tool that can be clamped to the work surface would work too. Or bolt it to a cabinet/bench. Any one of those would work, but I’d much rather have the first or the third option if people are doing good work. The first and third options also allow for easier clean up.
I can make a simple stand out of pine. Probably cost $20-30. The official Delta stand is $160 + $80 per extension. I’m not seeing much advantage to the official stand, other than it’s probably a bit heavier.
