I'm in need of a mitre saw stand. For those that have them are the wheels worth the extra money to you? I have a 30 gift card for Home Depot so it would make my out of pocket much less than the delta stand from lowes.

I'd guess it depends on where you're going to use it. Mine gets stored in the basement and any stand requires lugging up stairs so I just use sawhorses and plywood that's at the project spot. Friend of mine stores everything in his barn but half his projects are in the house or yard and wheels have made a real difference for him. If it was part of a fixed wood shop then simpler and sturdier would be best.

Like the other poster said, depends on your needs. If you expect to move it a lot, wheels are a definate plus. You picked the Ryobi and a Delta 3 times the price, which btw, I am pretty sure the Ridgid stand is the same as the Delta. There is a few others to look at that have pricing in between the low and high you have.

The Delta/Ridgid is great in that it folds and can be stored with the saw on it as well as good mobility. I have the previous gen Ridgid and like it. If I needed to get one today, wheels for sure, and probably the Delta/Ridgid is what I would go with

I've got the rigid saw and stand on wheels, pretty happy with it. I move mine around on dirt, so wheels are a must

A good one that is not made anymore, but can be found used is the Delta Kickstand.

I have a Stablemate, it weighs a ton but I really like it. They make them with wheels but they are only good on smooth surfaces.

The Delta would be around 85 out of pocket after using a 15 off 50. The Ryobi would be about 35 out of pocket after using gift card I got for Christmas. So basically a 50 difference for wheels. Although I don't plan on moving it a lot seems like it would be nice to have the ease when/if I did. Guess I'm answering my own question. Lol

Mine lives on a Black & Decker Workmate. I have a couple of roller stands from HF that serve as table extensions when cutting over length stock

I am partial to my Bosch gravity rise stand .

Just make one man. Get a couple of wheelbarrow wheel/tires, a piece for an axle and some one and a half box tube and get to it.If you dont weld just cut everything, draw a picture and take it to a weld or muffler shop. They can stick it together with a mig in less than an hour.
$100 total and you'l have a stand that blows that prefab junk off the map. All terrain to boot

I have the Craftsman which is identical to the Ryobi. I like it. It is stable when set up and stores in a fairly small space. I read some reviews about the plastic lock down handles breaking but I think those are caused by the users not taking time to adjust the locking pressure properly. Sears sells extra sets of locking bars so you can set up different tools to do quick change outs.

This is the one I ended up ordering because of surprise points and free shipping. I'd like to have had the ability to easily move it but I really don't see it being moved often and I'll eventually build a table for it so this should work well for now I think.
