Attaching Dewalt 7485 Table Saw to Dewalt 7400 Stand

Post by bishylewis »

Hi all, I wondered if anyone had any experience with the above. The instructions for the 7400 stand are purposefully generic as I assume the stand can support a number of different table saws, but when trying to attach the Dewalt 7485 it seems like you put bolts through the table saw supports and into the threads within the feet of the 7485 (see images of one that is constructed). However, if I do this the bolts are too long and I can't tigten them to the actual table saw leaving it loose, which can't be right as the whole point is you can move the saw around on it's stand. Any useful advice appreciated! (I have mailed dewalt directly but was hoping to resolve this asap)

Thanks for any help!

if you mean the bolt is grounding then a shorter bolt is needed or the hole extended
now you cant extend the hole where the bolt goes in but if it's grounding on the other edge off a tube then you can open that side with a drill bit but shorter bolt is the first course i would choose even reducing the bolt length making sure you have a nut on the thread before you cut
