I bought this stand several years ago on sale for $99! It works great with my 56# DeWalt 12” sliding compound miter saw. We just bought a couple to replace folding DeWalt and Milwaukee stands that were a pain to set up and dismantle daily on the job site.

I had the dewalt stand for 1 day before selling it and buying the msuv. Just FYI if you put your saw in the middle it will be more balanced and make folding and unfolding easy. This is my fav. stand. all the supports sag so i cant fault it. Overall best bang for the buck. the tough built looks very similar and sure its good too. I also have the bosh gravity stand for my table saw and the msuv is easier to use.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have to tighten the screws on my mounts because every time I raise or lower the stand the saw slides.

I can't confirm that, I mean don't leave it in the rain obviously but this thing is amazing, super easy to load into a truck for example and the way it's balanced, the first time you folded up, it feels like it's going to fall over or slam into itself, it does not. Very very well built and I think it was on sale recently at Home Depot as well but generally speaking, this thing is amazing and I believe you can use it with any other saw it has the added rails for long Lumber and all that good stuff, thing is amazing!

just an added note . after setting up my miter saw on the stand i noticed it’s easier to put the stand in the horizontal position if the saw is in the highest position when vertical. so before storing the stand move the saw to the left.

Glad it was helpful! 👍

I have an older model of this same stand.... the new one has larger circumference wheels and the handle is now a 'closed-loop'..... whereas, my handles are individual handles.... so, it seems improved in a few ways to me. I LOVE this stand...... it is SO EASY to employ to a working stand and retract into storage mode and wheels around the yard very easily. I have showed this stand to several people over the years and they all agree what a sweet design it is. I just replaced my Ridgid 12 inch Compound miter saw with a new Dewalt saw, and it mounted in the universal mounts of this stand super-easily..... another plus!! I debated on getting a color matched Dewalt stand, but decided it would be a waste of money, since I love the functionality of this stand so much.... plus; The Ridgid Stand has a nice recessed storage area on the left side of the 'saw' which is great for storing pencils, small notepad, nuts/bolts/screws/wrenches etc. I don't believe the folding Dewalt has such a feature.

Yes, this stand has definitely made my life easier. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

I have one of these. Purchased a few years ago (it's 2023 as I write this). I like the Ridgid MSUV for the most part. The one flaw is the placement of the tension levers which lock/unlock the wing/supports for extending/contracting. The frame of the MSUV prevents the lever on the rear-left-side from being turned while the stand is fully-deployed. The right-side-front is fine. But the stand has to be at least partially folded-up in order for the left-rear tensioner to be turned freely. This is awkward for one person, but can be done. Other than that, I've appreciated the otherwise user-friendly and strong-enough-for-my-tasks nature of this portable stand. I've got an Admiral 12-inch compound-miter-saw (from Harbor Freight) mounted on mine. Overall, I don't think I could have done better for the money spent. :-)

That lever is spring loaded, pull out on it, turn it whatever way suits you, then set it back on different flats of the hex, that it fits over. Then operate the lever as normal (Fig 22 in the manual).

Just bought the delwalt726. The drawbacks are: it sits low, wheels are too small to go up bumpy yards, and it only comes with one handle bar. The latter is a big problem as two handle bars are needed to operate it as a wheelbarrow or hand dolly. I am looking at the Rigid now for the reasons mentioned above.

@@BruceAlanR i owned the DeWalt for 2 days before returning it. I bought the Rigid after watching your video. I noticed 2 height settings on the DeWalt where the highest setting was too low. Also, the DeWalt does not have the quick release arms that bolt below the miter saw. Instead, the DeWalt has sliding brackets afixed to the DeWalt frame where a miter saw can be bolted on to. I prefer the quick release arms as it makes it easy to separate the saw from the stand.

@zamboner

What ? The handle bar is just to raise it and disengage the lock, maybe to reposition your stand a little, but not to wheel it around.. to do that, you should fold it and use the full stand foot frame width..

I have ~26 ridgid power tools, about 8 batteries and a few chargers registered. I have had two batteries replaced under warranty that I bought in 2010. They are slug-slow at changing the 3yr to lifetime, so you DO have to follow up with an agent to get them to change it, but they gladly do. Their customer service agents are not the kind Canadians you know so well. These must be those angry french-candians.... And for reference. This stand in 2023 is now $250, but in 2019 was ~$130 !!!!! THAT is some BS.
