Ahh, yes, of course.

My stand looks a little bit like



only without the upper tray (and not nearly so pretty).?

It's made from 2" x 2" x 3/16" angle iron, meaning the stand weigh
about as much as the saw; what possessed me to use such material is
entirely beyond me.? The saw simply sits on the end rails.? I have a
plastic tupperware tray right underneath to catch all the badness.


I might take a crack at rotating the cylinder 90 degrees, so the
plumbing is out of the way, but still above the top of the stand.

The adjustment will then be facing down, but a bit of Rube Goldberg
might fix that.

The cylinder is then vertical ?
