Awesome Todd! You should have a great time scrolling with that saw!
Just a tip; most saws are engineered to work best with the stand. If you can find the room, I would install it to the stand, this will keep the vibrations down.

Congratulations on your new toy.

Love mine.  I posted a question about vibration and it seems that the EX-21 will vibrated slightly at full speed but nothing at 3/4. I was just at Judy Gale Robert's studio and we tested a few machines and they had less vibration than mine and it was her opinion that the machine has to be on a solid floor.  They have a wooden floor but have cut a hole out for the legs of the stand to go directly on the concrete.

Also, I use the stand and I added a shelf in the bottom as I assembled it and this makes the stand even stronger.

Enjoy

Enjoy your EX 21! I purchased mine from Ray @ Seyco in March and love it! I have a wooden floor on pier and beam and get a little vibration; not so much it bothers me. I run my say at 3/4 speed, and I do have the stand. I am thinking about a thick rubber mat under the stand to see if that will absorb some vibration.
