My 12" Wadkin clone (~300kg) does not require solid fixing, but all of the 'contractor' or compact saws need added mass to work well. And invest in a GOOD blade, or 3, Rip, all purpose, and fine cut- off. And make up a baffle system or box the base in (plywood) completely, airtight as possible (foam weatherstrip), and connect to, at least, a shop-vac. Irwin's range of blades are a good, readily available and quite suitable for a saw of that size. Hope that helps. Any questions, feel free to contact.

My inclination might be attach a 4' x 4' plywood deck, that'll add my incredible 157 pounds of bulk, with short shag carpet 'feet' underneath. Shape of the stand, isn't a slam dunk to enclose, but it will be none the less. Stop at local hardware didn't strike me with a great range of blades in correct size (or at diameters expected).
