Good to know the idea is feasible. @Steve: I was thinking of doing the same thing (getting extra bolt parts from B&D then using them to bolt stationary tools directly to the workmate).

While it takes a little 'convincing' to make sure all three pieces of the top are flat when tightened, the versatility of the dog clamping system is great. I used T-nuts in to bolt down bench tools (miter saw, drill press, etc) and make a portable work table, but I've found that the special fittings that hold the individual surface panels to the frame are available from B&D. With these attached to individual boards for each tool, they can simply substitute for the center board instead of un/re bolting each time. Should keep the number of (intentional) holes in the 425 down. Next, a router station board. (Are you listening B&D?) I’ve had a WM425 for some time.
