Has anyone used the Bosch 4000 with a wheeled stand, such as from Rousseau or Trojan? Or has anyone rigged <<cough>> I mean fastened any type of wheel assembly to the Bosch?
How well do these wheeled stands fold up so as to not take up much space?
It seems that Bosch could sell a boatload of wheeled stands with this saw if it had them, because a portable saw is meant to be “portable,” right?
Thanks,
Billy

Billy, at the JLC Live show last weekend Gary Katz was using a Bosch on a wheeled stand. I think it was the Rousseau because he had an extension table to the left of the saw. Also had a Rousseau-looking outfeed table. Looked like a nice setup.
I don't have the Bosch, I have the Dewalt, but I do have the Rousseau stand. It beats lugging it around by hand, but frankly, I don't think it's worth the money. I find it hard to believe there isn't a better way to build a stand. I think I would rather have the Rigid table saw stand that I think you can buy separately for $99.
