Mitre Saw Stands

Home Pro

Saw Helper all the way... Had one for 15? years. Set it up once and been using it ever since. Hands down the best out there for the serious professional. Quick set-up and always accurate, even on uneven terrain. Got a few buddies that bought 'em after they seen mine, and they're still using them also.

I have the Dewalt. Well made in most respects. Folds down and carries very easily. I like being able to slide the saw on the base.

My one complaint is the stops have a lot of slop. 1/8" or more. I find myself trying to put a consistent amount of pressure towards the stop to compensate.

I didn't know what you were talking about, but followed the link. That suck,but I can assure you its not this one. I know you were joking anyway. Hope you have been following Craigslist, though I don't know how popular it is in Canada.

I bought this one for my tile saw. It was going to modify it to fit as it was cheaper than the rolling tile saws, but since I got out of the physical end of the biz, I don't need it anymore.

Good luck with yours. Sounds like a local or inside job though. It usually is. Make sure you notify all the local handymen and contractors.

I bought that Rigid after reading this thread last year. Its great for the money but has been falling apart since day one. Its not real RIGID

Whats falling apart? Screws? Parts? Give them a call. They replaced a leaking hyd. cylinder for me. Thats it.

I am sure it is long gone by now. Once it's out the box, it would look like all the rest. Oh well.

Back on topic. I bought a used Delta Stand with wheels. The older model. It's okay.

Same here. I still like it the best out of all the stands though. I've been working with a really old trim carpenter who huffed at it when he first saw it. He liked to use a table he made that extended the platform a foot or so on either side. He'd just fight the long stuff to get a good cut and that was just the way it was, cause that was the way it always was. Well the other day, i noticed he made a new table that looked like a wooden version of the dewalt stand.

Probably everything, if its a rigid.

Rigid does make nice looking stuff for homeowners to decorate the shelves in their garages with.

I have been using the Dewalt for about a year now... light and sturdy.... I am very please with it.

Here's another Dewalt DW723 stand user for over 2 years now. Some of the pro's about this stand is that it breaks down and sets up quick in less time than I can have my son get out of an air conditioned truck lately.

Con's would be the thumb wing nuts need some tightening and reset at the end guards as well as those black rubber shoes on the legs have a tendency to fall off. But all and all very satisfied with it.

I have the "old" Ridgid AC9940, the one with the large flat top and the saw is directly bolted to it. The ONLY I dislike, and I wouldn't have minded if the new stand didn't have it is that the rollers are stationary when the out-riggers are down.That being said, I went out and bought the "New" AC9944 with the mounting rails and blah, blah, blah. It went back to the store a week later. VERY unstable, the outriggers are WOBBLY as HELL, difficult to lower as the unit binds, and the wheels seem to twist the support legs as the unit is loaded. The rollers don't support material along their full width and the fences line up with the rollers at the mid point. Cutting anything wider than a 2x4 causes the material to roll off the supports. Wait til they redesign it and then recheck it. If you can find the old AC9940, GRAB it! Very stable, light in comparison, nice wide wheels. I m working with a welder to make me some brackets that I can attach to the horizontals on the outriggers that would provide moveable rollers like the new unit and still leave the fixed ones in place. The other nice stand that I like, believe it or not is the Ryobi stand. Don't remember the EXACT spec, but I can support 16 foot 2x8 on it without much of a balance problem. It is very stable, and most of all LIGHT! Breaks down QUICK, saw pops off easily and it is VERY compact! Has stops on the supports so you can make repetitive cuts.

I'd start by asking in the right forum. This way is the same as interrupting a conversation instead of joining the conversations. Go to User CP and you will find it there in the left hand navigation menu.

I have the Dewalt. Four years & counting, with no problems.

I currently use the ryobi stand. got it for $100 USD a couple of years ago. I like it, but think the dewalt is the best. its got a bigger span, is lighter, and folds up nice.

I had the porta mate stand with all the bells and whistles but it was very heavy and cubmbersome, I returned it and got the Trac Rac stand. It is very nice and sets up and breaks down very easy. I would recommend it to any contractor. I got it online for like 180.00, good price for this stand. It has wheels on it but they are a little small but they work all right for transporting on pavement.
