Thanks guys for the thoughts. I really enjoy the info and opinions here, as they are certainly do very. I have recently just followed some threads from individuals that like the HW-19 better then the Scout ?? So I guess as always very subjective.

Hi,
I have an HW-19, and a Bright Star Big Rock made specifically for the HW-19, with a seperate plinth for the SAMA. I would like to try this thing and have a few questions.
The main question is the feet on the TT. I really never cared for the Hw-19 rubber feet, they are kind of squishy, and wobbly if you try to use them to level the table.
I would think you would want the HW-19 coupled more firmly to the plinth on the Big Rock. I thought about making something up with some kind of threaded 10/32 rod and acorn nuts for feet just to be able to level the HW-19, and also have a good connection to the plinth on the Big Rock. Being afraid of the table being to able to slide on the plinth with these feet I made, I found very small hard rubber discs that these homemade feet fit into to keep the table in place from either sliding around, and also to keep it in position with the SAMA. I think this would work pretty good.
Plan B is some Brass or other type of cone. My issue here is a pointed cone would certainly grip into the plinth of the Big Rock to keep it from moving around, but will be sinking into the plinth making holes, boy also I would thing dig there way in deeper and deeper, and possibly unevenly, making leveling and issue over time. Using the cones with protective footers solves the point problem with the plinth, but also the metal footers seem pretty slick again on the hard plinth not keeping the table in place(not to mention someone bumping into the rack and the table sliding around.
So, I am probably over thinking this, but am looking for opinions on what to do for feet when used with the Big Rock sandbox?
