This a quality saw stand which is easy to set up and is very substantial.Its only drawback is that it is fairly heavy and with a saw attached, might require two persons to put it in the back of a pickup truck. It should, however, be up to considerable abuse.
i would have liked a third height setting (one higher than the 32" max height). the ridgid has a huge base and is a bit on the heavy side when you compare it to other miter saws, but the delta is equal to the task.make sure you follow the assembly instructions to the letter and everything will go perfectly. use this for my ridgid 12" sliding compound miter saw and it fits fine. technically there are already three settings, but the third is the lowered height.nice product. the instructions are well written and well thought out.it is beefy and heavy, but it rolls so it's generally not going to be too much of an issue. get a friend to help you load it into the truck when the saw is mounted to it.rolls well and goes up and down fairly easily. found it at lowe's for $179 - a 10% coupon. it's worth the $215 that amazon has it listed for, but i wouldn't go much higher than that.
I'm a novice as the whole handyman thing, so I don't have any experience with other tools.The stand came exactly as advertised. No problems with setup and seems very sturdy. A little heavy but I think that's to be expected.Chris
This is an amazingly well built stand. I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble straight out of the box. The build construction is very solid and seems to be built for a lifetime. I was also glad to see it was made in Thailand rather than the usual China.
These seem to get a bit heavier ever time I go to heft them from their storage places to the work bench. Overall a very good product. The low height setting of the Delta stand makes it somewhat easier to shift from storage to the work stand and then elevate the stand along with the tool to a desired work height. This stand is a very heavy duty design and has very little wobble or instability. I purchased it to make it easier to use bench top power tools such as a Delta 13" planer and PerformaX 10-20 drum sander. The hold-down bolt design is a bit difficult to utilize and, hence, encourages use of the tools with out bolting them to the stand. Also the lift cylinder could use a bit more upward pressure but these are not major negatives.
