This is just too cool and too perfect:
Shapeoko 3 folding mobile stand, Dewalt DW7440RS
Now if only we can find something so perfectly suited for an XL (that’s what I need) or an XXL…

This was posted about again at:
and I finally got around to putting together the one I bought:
Mounting it was simplicity itself — just needed 4 M5x30 BHCSs, and 4 washers from the stand hardware supply, and 4 M5 washers and 4 M5 nuts — for assembly you’ll also need a 10mm socket and ratchet.
Next up is working out mounting the power supply and working out a way to secure the USB cable and other accoutrements.

looks nice but… I’d be worried that it ends up “shaking”… how stable is it?

Good question — didn’t have time to test it out, but I actually use a rather rickety folding table for my XL and it works okay, so I expect this will work well, esp. once I manage to swap the MDF for an aluminum threaded table (I’ll probably source even longer bolts and put the MDF underneath the machine).
I have a Vika model 21010 folding work bench and scafold. I saw it on walmart.com for $149.00. I currently have my Ridgid osc sander sitting on it. I like that it folds up and has telescoping legs so you can make it two heights. It has a handle for carrying and an electrical outlet built in.

Since then, this has been updated a bit:
(can’t recall the bolt length, but these days, I have enough metric hardware around I can do most projects w/o a run to a hardware store)
Since then, DeWalt has added another folding/rolling/portable saw stand to their lineup:

Trying to figure out if it would work well w/ an SO4 or Pro Standard, or even an SO5 Pro 2x2… (my son may be in a position to have a machine in “The Big Apple” for his theatre work and general use at some point in the future).

Also, spare (knock-off) rails are now available:

which kind of makes me want this setup for my home/basement/shop — I could have the one rolling/folding frame, then multiple tools on rails, and just swap around which is on the frame…

I am actually revisiting this now, and my thought is to make use of the bolts on the underside using coupling nuts to secure various aspects of the machine (and clean up the protruding hardware).
Debating on a BitSetter projecting and catching, or being worthwhile, a v1 BitRunner seems a good fit (no Spindle Pendant to trouble over), but a BitZero seems like two additional cables and the holder design I worked up is kind of delicate…
