Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I have had my eye on that! I am on My way to get it now. (and what ever else falls in my cart!)
Hey all, I'm in Charlotte, NC. You can have mine for $50.00. I don't think it's worth that. But if want it, come and get it.

I hate I missed the sale...but I might be interested in that. I've been eyeing them for some time.Of course, for the gas from Raleigh to Charlotte, I could probably just buy it at $149.a.
The sale is still on I just received the ad last Sunday.
yay!
I picked one up yesterday. Last one in the store, but they said more were on the way.
Got mine on Saturday, sale flyer in the morning paper. Thanks for the heads up. Not a bad unit . . . portability is the big factor for me. I'll have to build a cradle for the wheels and some leg extensions to bring it up to height. I'm 6'7" and don't want to stoop.

I hadn't realized it was still on sale either....after reading the update today, I ran out and grabbed one.
Personally, I prefer a bench setup so that I can use it for everything else that a project entails. But for $99.....I'll use this for those jobs that don't require anything but a chopsaw.
At first glance it looks like it oughtta do the trick. I've had the Rigid rolling table saw stand for a few years now. If this thing holds up as well, it'll be worth it. The hydraulic opener concerns me a bit. While it'll make setup a breeze when new, I'm not so sure the daily dust is going to be too kind.

Thanks for the interest. I was just up at the Greensboro Cabinet makers show. We could have met half way. I f you get over this way, let me know.[email protected]InTheCleftOfHisHand

i've got 3 of those they are great stands.i just can't think of where i could use # 4! larry
hand me the chainsaw, i need to trim the casing just a hair.
I bought one the last time they were 99 clams and I love it.
I also bought the other stand, the lower one without the rollers and mounted my table saw on it - big improvement over the all thread axle and lawn mower wheels I used to use to transport that table saw. In fact, I have an extra of the lower stand, but I've already promised it to one of our brothers.Remodeling Contractor with no idea where the Glass City is
Does it work well with the big choppers: DWSCMS?If Blodgett says Tipi Tipi Tipi, it must be so!
I have a Makita 10" slider on mine, Andy, and it's fine. I'm sure someone with a DeWalt will chime in here any second.
One nice thing I've found about these stands is they are under 24" wide when collapsed, so they ride side by side nicely in my van. Nice big wheels make going over rough terrain, cords, or up and down stairs easy, too.
Great stands. Glad I never bought something else first.Tipi, Tipi, Tipi!
I've got the 12" dual bevel Bosch on it and it's great! Might have to run down and get another one!
Kimball
Yes our 12" Dewalt slider rides on one - and it is a great stand - I think I'll buy another for the non slider Dewalt...
Treat every person you meet like you will know them the rest of your life - you just might!
I scored one last weekend...its still in the box.If Blodgett says, Tipi tipi tipi it must be so!

So ashamed. Dang I got to get some help.

Whats with you guys?!

>>"New tools still in the box....."
There's an idea for a thread. How long can you wait before taking the new toy, er, tool out of the box and trying it on something? I think the longest I've gone is a couple, few days.
"A job well done is its own reward. Now would you prefer to make the final payment by cash, check or Master Card?"
"a few days"?
Heck.....a few hours and I start to get a nervous twitch.
Case in point......I decided to run and buy the Ridgid stand while on lunch. Figgered it couldn't take more than an hour. Once I had it in the truck and was heading back to the jobsite, I realized I only had another hour before I had to go pick up my son from kindergarten. No sense going back to work for an hour only to have to stop again. Swung by my shop to assemble and mount the saw. All this for a tool I originally hadn't planned to buy....nor have any immediate need to use.
Maybe I should see a doctor?

Anybody looked at the Ryobi stand for the same price?
No wheels but the stand looks solid and the extensions pull out from both sides at least 4 feet while the saw position is adjustable left to right the length of the stand.
Whatever it's worth, I've been told the Ryobi stand is worthwhile (I know, my best friends cousin's FIL's uncle says . . .). But that's what I've been told. I'm thinking about getting one for my 10" to have something lighter. So I'm also interested to see what others think of it.
I have the Ridgid stand and it is a workhorse. Important thing to be aware of is the thing weighs close to 100 pounds on its own. Add the weight of the saw (I've got the 12" Ridgid slider bolted to it and it's no lightweight either) and it's not the sort of thing you want to take in and out of the truck every day on your own. More like get it on site, chain it to something solid, and leave it there for the duration.
"A job well done is its own reward. Now would you prefer to make the final payment by cash, check or Master Card?"
I wouldn't consider anything without wheels. (Unless the saw you're mounting is ultra-light)
The wheels on the Ridgid make moving it around a breeze......but they do little for getting it in and out of the truck. Even with a ramp.

J.D.:
Is there a stand that works for you with wheels that is light?
As in prior post, I have the Ridgid and I like it but I'm shopping for something lighter for my old 10" for jobs that ain't worth wrestling the Ridgid moster in and out of the truck. Right now on the small jobs I bring an old Shopmate (the old kind with the actual plywood table that doesn't weigh a ton) as a bench, but I'm looking for something with the extension wings all in one for the lighter saw.
Edit -- PS: I'm going to start the "how long before opening the tool" thread in this form. That was a great story and I bet there are more like that. The real question is "how long before the thread gets moved to the tavern?" ;-)

This is my first miter saw stand.....wheels or not. I've been reluctant to buy one for years. The topic of miter saw stands pops up here at BT rather regularly. Before this, I've always chimed in with my preference of an actual workbench. Pair of saw horses with a substantial work surface sitting atop.
It is extremely rare that I only need to work with a chopsaw on a project. I like to have a work station for everything else I'll be doing. Coping, sanding, routing, assembling....the list goes on.
A stand with wheels for $99, I couldn't pass up. I'm also thinkin'.....my 12" Makita is getting on in age. Still works like a horse, but I've been eyeballin' the new 10" models. Perhaps in the , not-so-distant future I'll have to purchase a new saw for my bench setup, and leave the old one mounted to the stand.
Ya see how easy it is to rationalize new tool purchases? Sick I tell ya.

A doctor won't help.
Best thing to do is drink some coffee and go out and do it again 'cause it feels so good.

I bought one from the same dealer with folding legs
on sale for 50 dollars due to some parts missing
after opening the box there were only four bolts missing
bought 4 bolts in their hardware dept for 32 cents plus tax
and I have a brand new stand with adjustable bars for cutting
it pays to shop around
:>)
I was at the Depot yesterday and saw them on an end cap...but the price was still $149... I wonder if this is a national sale, can other people confirm the sale price?

Got mine Saturday, ordered a new Bosch 5412 to live on it the next day from Amazon.
The cart is heavy but top notch. Glad I saw the $99 tag!
They still have them as of yesterday the 8th. Dewalt 12 " SCMS fits with new holes required. I got a second one for my planer. With tools that big and heavy, you need a stand to which you can secure the tool and it has to have wheels.
