Saw Stabilizing Bracket
Hi Guys
Just bought a work center router etc yesterday, just curious about stabilizing bracket
The young bloke at Bunnings said that he wasn't sure but didn't think that I would need it with the makita saw that I have as he thinks it is mainly for if the saw is a type that wont fit the saw slide properly
Just wondering if that is the case or not, I cant bag him for his lack of knowledge as he gave me a decent sort of dealWayne
Someday I'll get it right!

No, the saw stabilising bracket is used if your chosen saw is not terribly rigid on its base plate. I.e. if you hold down the base plate and then grab the motor part of your saw and try move it up and down and it has a lot of play in it, then the saw stabiliser bracket will indeed help reduce that to give more accurate cuts.
It basically makes your saw more rigid in the workcentre if it is not rigid enough on its own.

Waco, I have an old makita 9000 series in my Mk 3, and the stabilising bracket made a hell of a difference. Go for it...

would this Stabilising Bracket make any diff with a triton saw? im sure the triton is pretty stable but would the bracket make it more so?

When I bought the work centre I had a 91/4' Makita and it was all over the place so I purchased the stabliser bracket and it made a huge difference to the saw as it took the flex out of the base plate.
The only problem after that was the Makita had arbour float and it affected the accuracy of saw cuts so I ended up buying the Triton saw and all my problems went away. You definitely don't need the stabiliser bracket with the Triton saw.

Guys, if he hasn't solved the problem by now, he never will
If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Didn't look at the date of the original post but at least it gives an answer to Charcoal who posted 6 hours ago.
I don't know why they don't do a search or at least make a new post instead of digging up a thread that is two years old.

First you dig a little hole and put in a seed and wait, and wait, and wait etc.

Don't hesitate buy the bracket.
The main reason is that while it is great to stabilise the saw it is even better to use when making fine adjustments to the blade angle when yo want to saw at other than 90 degrees
