Thumbs up

I have finally found time to set it up. I must say, it is extremely well constructed and the few welds are of high quality. I had purchased their wiring and switch kit and it wasn't too difficult to install. I have not bolted the base plate to the bench but will if I feel it's necessary. I will likely purchase a small wheel attachment for it next.

Larry, I followed your advice and installed a dampening pad under the base. This is 3/8" Firestone rooftop-walkway mat made from fiber-reinforced EPDM rubber. I used to work on skyscrapers and this was something I had leftover for years and knew I'd find a use for it some day.
