Best Miter Saw Stand

[mayday0017]

I have came to the conclusion doing trim work with my miter saw would be much easier if I would accept the fact I need it enough to give up the extra storage space it requires.

So with that said which stand would you recommend and why is it your choice stand.

This is for a Dewalt 12" saw

I have the older Rigid MSUV, really like it, very portable and easy to set up.

I like the DWX723 and DWX725B. I have both, use both for different purposes. Lack of wheels doesn't matter to me on a miter. I'd rather have good solid footing and I have found these style give me that easily.

You can see my miter saw/stand combo in this video so you can tell, for me it's more about stability than mobility. The Hitachi is very top heavy. (No I'm not Rob)

I have the DeWalt DWX726 - the one with wheels. Easy to roll it out when I need to use it and stores nicely. I like it much better than having the saw on a rolling cabinet like I used to.

I have the Bosch and am quite happy with it. Well made, flawless (so far) operation, rolls easily, saw can be taken off in a snap. If I had a complaint it would be that for $300+ there should be a devise for storing the saw cord plus maybe another 25' or 50' of extension cord.

I have a collapsible Delta that I really like, no problems so far. I have a 12" Hitachi on it. Works very well.

I've had the MSUV for over a decade with no stability issues, it currently has a Bosch Slider on it, so it is well loaded.

I also have the Portamate PM7000 which is very similar to the Dewalt stand you have. Honestly it is a PITA to move around, and stability wise it offers nothing over the MSUV. I cut a lot of different material, it's seen some large, heavy pieces of lumber.

The MSUV is like grabbing the saw on a 2 wheeler, easily moving into what ever work area you are working in. Set up takes about 30 seconds or less, and you get it all in 1 trip, not multiple trips like the Portamate.

I bought the Portamate thinking it would be the foundation for all of my portable tools, it hasn't turned out that way and I tend NOT to use it because it is not as easy as the MSUV. At this point I've decided it will move on somewhere else as I don't need it taking up space.

2'X4' plywood and banquet table legs. OK, I'm cheap maybe?

Have the older msuv ridgid. It's nice with the extensions letting you cut 14 ft lengths easily. The newer ones are a tad nicer. Look on cl I found mine for 40 bucks. The bosch seems way nicer since its gravity rise but is pricey.

This is my favorite stand for someone that is actually cutting trim, molding, or 1x4 stock a lot. If you're using it for more than that, I really really like this:

with a pair of these

I think any stand that is not moving around, i use that collapsible dewalt and one roller. I much rather use saw horses with a secured (1") 2x8 piece of plywood and a couple of blocks on each side at the same height of the saw table and one or two rollers to use with the hella long pieces. And... a makita 10" sliding compound miter saw.

I'm using a festool now, it's cool but I wish there was a micro adjustment in the miter between 45 and 46 like the one in the compound. It's really difficult to set up on 45,5 or less. ... The stand is kinda flimsy and as they made the wings with a fence is rather narrow for wide pieces.

I also have the Dewalt DWX723, along with some roller stands for 16' boards. That's a great setup and both fold up for minimal storage space. The ones with wheels are nice, but are bulky.

I have the Makita 10" slider with the Makita 195083-4 "job site" stand. Mobility wise its great, big wheels, very sturdy construction.
Ive loaded a hundred pounds + on it to cut beams and it was ok. Huge work platform, but mounting points specific to Makita products I believe?
One minor hiccup has been sometimes the spring lock engagement doesnt engage, takes a sec to lock?
All that said, heard Bosch makes the best gravity rise.

If you are moving yours around at all, I wouldnt even consider something unless it has wheels.

I have this one from Rigid and really like it. Easy to set up originally, and easy to use and move around.

I have one of these, bought extra quick-connect mounting rails for it, mounted my Ryobi Planer, Dewalt 14" chop saw and Rigid spindle sander on them.

That way I can use it for more than one portable tool.
I just fold the legs and stand it in the corner when I'm not using it.

 

[cheechi]

Which way did you mount the planer? IE did you want to use the extension arms as supports or no?

I have the older Rigid MSUV, really like it, very portable and easy to set up.

Ditto, got it on half price sale at HD for $100 but it's fully worth full price. It lets me do shop-quality work in the field. The side roller supports go out far enough from the cut line to be actually useful.
