Bandsaw stand

[Tigger90]

I have brought the Axminster Hobby bandsaw and have made a stand for it out of 2x3.
The instructions say to secure the bandsaw with bolts, washers and shake proof nuts. As the fixing points are on the corners, with the stand I have made I doesn't have access to use bolts and nuts.
Do you think if I use washers and very long screws the bandsaw will be securely fixed?

Here is a photo of the saw and stand

Some long coach screws would do the trick (what diameter are the holes in the base?)...

...but if you wanted to be fancy, then 'wood to metal' threaded studs would work great too with some nuts on.

Those long coach screws look just what I need! The base holes are 8.5mm

The base holes are 8.5mm

M8 coach screws then, with approx 6mm pilot drill first. (measure the minor diameter of the thread)

This seller offers the option of some nice big penny washers with the screws...
