I have seen people make replacement plates but I wouldn’t be able to say how safe and effective they are. It stands on it’s own adjustable feet for levelling and working and the casters fold out to roll it around. The Whittling Guide, originally founded as a comprehensive resource for whittling enthusiasts, has evolved into a versatile platform covering a wide range of woodworking topics.All of this comes together atop a hard plastic shell, encasing the motor, and forming the saws 640×550 footprint.
