I can kick mine and not rattle anything on top of it, it's rock solid.

I cut some boards to the right length easily and simply using my accurate but cheap Bosch mitre saw. (90 degrees - bang on and no slop, David!!
I needed to trim 5mm off a pre-glued moulding and used the bandsaw for that (the big one) and the a short while later, trim a smaller bit off a smaller moulding and used the baby bandsaw.
Then I needed to rip a few floorboards down and used the table saw. Much easier, quicker and better supported than using the big bandsaw.
