It was hard on my legs (and behind) when I was scrolling sitting on my Dewalt bar stool. I put a box under the switch and it worked okay, but I wanted something better.
I built this as a result. I had originally intended on making the angle adjustable, hence the hinges, but after trying out with a few blocks under the top board I found it works at this angle. (It also works fine for my son and wife.)
I took off the protective shield, but you can leave it on.
My only problem is sometimes I back my pressure off the switch thinking it will decrease the speed of the saw. (You know, like a gas pedal!) :D
The piece of wood at the back is where my heel sits so it doesn't fall off!

That is very COOL, Karl!
Do you always remember to remove your foot when changing the blade from one hole to another...I DON"T and it sure wakes you up!
