Hey guys yes the closer the tool to the base the better. For a base I use a 12" wide piece of laminated shelving thats 3/4" thick. I am thinking of making it 3/4" higher but I still have to see if I can hold the tool comfortably as I really like the bigger handles on it. The other important item I found was to add weight to the base. First I started out with no weight and the tool was grabbing too easy once I added the weight 10oz it was much easier to control.
