Would it be stable if mounted permanently to a heavy board which would then be clamped above the workpiece?

Yes, I did precisely just that for a couple of jobs I used it for. I also used the chamfered holes in the base to securely fasten it to my work bench and then fed stock through it to drill repetitive holes.

The base alone is sufficient for stability. There is a degree of "play" in the slide; not much, but noticeable. I can't think of any way to fix that. After I used this guide I realized it was not what I wanted so I bought the Craftsman bench top drill press which is much more useful.

Should be kind of stable, but you won't be able to change the angle on it.....

yes probably. it was just the black cone-looking handle that snapped off. You could perhaps drill some holes in the bottom 'Ring" and screw it to a board. Hard to explain but I was drilling hinges so was hard to clamp it flat with the hinge having it's part protruding.

It can, but it will probably not be stable. It doesnt have the weight to the wood like a regular wood shelf would have.

Should not be a problem. In any event locking the caster wheels and the bottom latch on board make the whole quite stable

No it would not be stable enough. Mine came completely bent. I would not recommend buying.

This,is possible with the extension posts under the "grips".but will it be stable enough? I don't think so.Mo......

You may have to do some drilling and buy a few U bolts but it could probably be permanently mounted.

Yes its best to mount it on studs so it wont become loose and fall off! This set is heavy itself!

As long as the weight limit is not exceeded and you are able to securely mount it, it should hold.

This is very heavy. You'd have to fabricate brackets that would support it from underneath and secure it to very solid structural eliments. I sure wouldn't try it.

It leans on the wall (it doesn't stick) so it shouldn't be a problem. The weight of the items you put on it will also help keep it stationary.

I wouldn't think so because it's not heavy and it screws on pretty close to the machine. I think it would be different if it was heavy and mounted further away from the machine. I can't say for sure but I personally haven't run into any issues.

Yes! The tools provided will help you position what is mounted so that it is locked in place!

I believe that is correct. Some of its' strength is derived from the mount on the wall. It basically hangs on the "gear" rack. I believe that it would be too flimsy to be moved around on casters. Just my opinion.

If totally stationary it would support it, but there is no type of guard to keep it from sliding off. Product can be unstable if not set up properly.

Yes. It can be tilted to a horizontal position so that it would not slide any thing.

Yes, it will hold that weight. The only caveat is that you must mount the mounting plate into either a solid wall or into solid studs. I had to use channel iron anchored into two studs to create a stable platform upon which I could mount the support. They are great supports, but the mounting plate will require you to pay attention to the wall you are mounting onto.

I'm not positive you could lift the work piece absolutely vertically due to the screw/rubber piece projecting beyond the clamp base. It will depend on how far the screw/rubber piece have been advanced toward the table surface which will depend on the thickness of the work piece itself. The distance from the clamp base to the edge of the work piece is also a factor and could give enough clearance if you didn't need for the clamping point to be farther from the edge of the work piece.
