I think he's suggesting how to adapt the short stand, to support wood in the same manner that the longer (but much heavier) stand would work. But I could be wrong.

It's mostly shorter but wider stock I find myself cutting so I don't really need the extra length. The ends of the short stand to slide. Out to cover 2.4 metres.
nah about half that

I've got the longer one and it is quite heavy but needs must as they say, it's a great sturdy stand and I doubt you'll be disappointed, the only thing to watch out for and it certainly kept happening on mine was the thumb screws for the height adjustment for the end stops kept coming loose while in transit, no matter how hard I tightened by hand they would always work loose to the point I lost 3 screws and ended up buying some other type

Could have fooled me. It's back breaking.
So I dug out the luggage scales out of curiosity and my saw with the mounting brackets for the stand weighed just shy of 30Kg and the stand was just shy of 14Kg. I think the dodgey estimate I gave might be down to how cumbersome it is. It's not easy to manoeuvre through door ways or up and down stairs so that might be where the bias lies.
I'll bare that in mind, cheers. I did think about replacing them or at least getting some of the wide roller bed attachments for when I eventually get some mounts for my metal cut off saw; but for all of them I thought about replacing the standard thumb wing screw for a bolt and nylock nut. Once the height is right it shouldn't really need to be changed anyway.
you're not wrong there though. I've only got one because some toerag stole my 10inch which is now discontinued and that's what the insurance replaced it with.Could have fooled me. It's back breaking.
I had to get rid if my 708 because at the end of the day 31kg 50yds from the van may as well be a mile
What are you guys cutting with your chop saws? With big machine capacities you need big planks.
Most days I'm sawing 6" x 3" which is the smaller stuff and on other days 14" x 4".
I leave my scms at home more and more frequently now that I have acquired the hk85 with recoil rail. A big makita backs it up for the 4" planks.
The mafell Cordless KSS 60 36B is next on my list.
