This is a rough-and-ready stand that will accommodate virtually any miter saw, but it's the oversize wheels that let you cart your saw practically anywhere--even up and down stairs--that really make it a winner. Built-in rollers support longer stock and are smooth right out of the box. The aluminum fence comes with a stop for easy duplicate cuts, and a stock-lift inhibitor keeps your cut piece from picking up after the cut. Sturdy steel legs adjust to your preferred work height, and when you're done, the stand folds quickly and easily, ready to roll. It's 84 pounds without a saw, but you'd never know it. -- Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Nice-but heavy
I am a full-time contractor specializing in turn-of-the- century restorations. I recently purchased a new Bosch 10" sliding compound saw, and decided to splurge and purchase the Delta saw stand for my new saw. The saw was delivered promptly, but the box was damaged in transit. The stand seemed OK. After unpacking, I was impressed with the quality of the unit. Heavy gauge steel, nicely finished. Assembly was tedious, it took several hours, counting looking through my piles for several missing bolts and nuts. However, I like the thing. It seems very stable, and the wheels are handy. (I really haven't used it yet.) Biggest problem is its weight. The stand and saw together are over 110lbs. A bit cumbersome to load in and out of a truck each day. Even collapsed it is very awkward to move around corners, up stairs, etc. I have decided not to permanately bolt the saw to the stand, and use metal clamps for attachment once the stand is where I want it. But like I noted, overall it is a nice thing to mount your saw to.

Excellent stand with some words of caution
I bought this stand to go with the Bosch 3915 10" SCMS saw. Because of the large base of these saws, other SCMS's and I would suspect most 12" chop saws, you can't utilize the supplied support and stop. I also could not utilize the cord wrap brackets as the mounting hardware interfered with them, which isn't a big deal to me, but worth mentioning.

The build: 60-90 minutes, you'll go faster with a cordless drill with a socket attachment. This will likely also prevent you from over-torquing and breaking any fasteners.

The good: Sturdy and stable though a bit heavy with wheels and a handle for easy mobility. Outfeed supports for long boards and easily collapsible for storage. The DeWalt, even being more expensive doesn't have the flexibility for movement that this does (a major consideration if you need to move it from site to site). The stand is HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE, for anyone whose stood at a miter saw for hours and ends up with a sore back from bending over, this is a very good feature!

The bad: The afforementioned fact that some accessories won't work. I wondered during the set-up why Delta doesn't offer 2 different model stands, and offer them at less cost. If you have a saw that will fit the standard MDF mount then you can, if not you have to take that off and use different brackets. You end up with a lot of leftover parts either way. It's heavy, but that lends to the sturdiness of it so you take the bad with the good there. Some people complain about having to set up the outfeed supports each time but if you mark the posts like someone else suggested, it's a no-brainer.

There is some small room for improvement so I'm giving it 4 stars, but as with any "universal" stand there's going to be different issues for different saws.

Great Stand, But You Need To Make A Little Modification
I became interested in one of these saw stands after seeing one set up in a woodworking store. I was quite impressed with how heavy duty it seemed and particularly with the capacity of the outriggers. So I got one.

After I got it home I read some owner's comments suggesting that the enclosed hardware was crap. I have to agree. I didn't strip any of the bolts out, but it's a wonder. They're too soft, I believe. At least all the necessary hardware was included.

The only other problem has to deal with the stand's inability to be left unattended when it's folded in a semi-upright position. Some folks have suggested kickstands but I decided to work with what was already there: First, I stood the saw upright in the folded condition and let it balance on one leg, blocking the wheel so it wouldn't get away from me. Then, I drilled a hole through one of the hinges where the two flat metal plates overlap when the stand is folded. I then inserted a 5/16" bolt with a plastic handwheel through the hole. With the bolt in position, the stand can't move, even though it's sitting at about a 75 degree angle. I also painted the plastic handwheel dayglo orange so the reason for immobility would catch my eye if I got stupid one day. Now it works great!

As far as using the thing, it's great. I've got a 12" Dewalt CMS on mine. I don't regret buying the stand at all.

Too small for big saws...
This is a well made unit for the price. I have used mine for about 8 months on the jobsite, and in the shop.

The only problem I have with this stand is it is not designed to fit the big saws (12 inchs) Delta, or otherwise. You have to remove the MDF table that is used for mounting, and then reverse the setup using the provided rails. If you do not reverse the setup, the side with the wheels attachted will not close up for movement.

This unit is quite combersome with my big Delta attached, but does a good job of rolling, and is very steady when set up.

The out riggers are nice for working with long lengths of materials.

I would highly recommend this unit for the price.

Happy Customer - Easy to Use.
The only complaint I have with my stand is I bought it shortly after Delta released it and I paid too much.

It did take longer to assemble than I expected but the handbook was reasonably well written and led me through the process. This stand is well designed and full of little features you discover through use. The cord storage rack on the back is simple and adds a lot of utility to the stand. Simple spring loaded levers make setup and breakdown simple and the stand is sturdy in the setup configuration (on reasonably level surfaces). I will say that changing configuration can be a handful with my heavy 12" Delta saw on the stand; but it is one of those things you just learn to do.

I recently helped my son frame up a large storage shed on his property. He is a construction superintendent and has access to a lot of neat toys. After watching me drag the stand out of my pickup, roll it over to his slab and set it up in about one minute he just said "Cooollll". That about says it! ... Read more

Tired of transporting a bulky miter saw stand from one job siteto the next? The DeWalt DW723 may be the answer. Lightweight and rugged,the all-aluminum stand measures a mere 5-1/2 feet out of the box andweighs in at just 38 pounds. However, when fully assembled, it cansupport boards up to 16 feet long and a full 400 pounds of weight. Thekey to its strength lies in the stand's retractable legs, which locksecurely in place then tuck away when not in use, as well as its slidingcam-lock extensions, which provide a full 16 feet of length whenassembled. A carrying handle makes the stand easy to transport whenfully retracted. Just throw it in the back of your pickup and it's goodto go. Assembly is quick and easy, too. We had ours up and running in amatter of seconds. Mounting brackets adjust to fit most miter saws, makingthis the ideal workspace for the professional or do-it-yourselfer on thego. --Carl Thress ...

Great for the Homeowner Too !!!
I'm an advanced DIY'er homeowner, and I needed a stand to go with my DW708 mitre saw. I just got tired of using makeshift supports for long boards and the extension arms are well designed and work great. When I rec'd the stand, it was dinged up pretty good in the main spine section and on a leg. I needed to call DeWalt directly. In about a week, I had the replacement parts in my hands. All in all, I was very pleased with the service and the stand.

Sweet-
I read that some folks had problems with the arms sagging with heavy lumber on them, but I went ahead and bought this thing anyway. It is awsome. I had bee using my Dewalt miter saw for two years on the floor or on a portable work table and hated it. This thing should really be packaged with the saws.
I built a huge backyard playset and cut everything from 2x4x8s to 4x4x12 with no problems. If the arms were tightened and the arms adjusters were lined up, I had a flat surface out to end to end.
I would have given 5 stars if DeWalt had thought of adding a slot to hold the arm platforms someplace on the stand itself that would make transporting and storing the unit more convenient.

worth the money
This is a pricey but well-engineered accessory for any DeWalt miter saw. Very sturdy construction with folding legs that are solid and wobble-free. The extension arms are completely adjustable for a wide variety of cutting positions. I especially like the quick release brackets that allow you to use the saw stand-alone when needed. A carrying handle makes the saw stand portable to a job site, but the weight is heavy enough that you don't want to move it often.

Great piece of equipment
I have used this stand while installing crown molding in my house. It is very stable, lightweight and stores easily once the legs are folded.

Luckily, I purchased a Dewalt mitre saw so I didn't experience the problems noted by other reviewers about the rails not fitting the saw base. Once the saw is mounted to the rails, set up is a snap and the saw really stays in place.

I am looking forward to using this stand and saw combo for a long time. I might take the advice of a previous reviewer and see if I can construct some rails for easily mounting my table saw to this stand.

Product is everything I expected, accept!
I just received my miter stand and was happy to see it, being in
the middle of a kitchen project. I am quite frankly tired of
jury rigging stands or elsewise scurrying across the floor
adjusting and making cuts. The product arrived safe and sound
via FEDEX, so previous reviews must have gotten Amazon to ship
a safer way, even with the free shipping! It all setup nicely
and I like the quick detach feature for the saw and easy
storage. I am not by no means a pro woodworker and everything
works well for me and I am sure it will stand up well to the
use I subject it to. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars
is what I read on the box, MADE IN CHINA. I was disappointed
that a company like DeWalt had also gone to offshore manufactuering.
It is giving me second thoughts on the DeWalt miter saw I was planning on buying. ... Read more

Benchtop table saws have come a long way in the past few years, evolving into precision machinery for even the finest joinery. Here's a stand that's worthy of those little dynamos. It's preset for several models of Makita, Hitachi, DeWalt, and Delta, but it's easily adapted for saws with tops up to 24-1/2 inches deep and 27 inches wide. This is by far the sturdiest benchtop accessory we've seen, with the best array of options. At a great working height of 34-1/2 inches, you'll increase your rip capacity to a burly 27 inches and won't have to call your next-door neighbor anymore to give you a hand when you're cutting sheet goods. The fence is tubular steel with an adjustable magnified hairline indicator for superior readability. Something we noticed and really liked on this stand was that the front edge sits just a bit lower than the saw table, so stock slides smooth as silk without catching. The optional add-ons are great, too: the PM2715XL extension adds a router table to your saw and increases rip capacity to an awesome 49 inches. An outfeed table is available, too. And should you need to, the saw removes easily and the stand folds flat for storage and portability. A winner all the way around. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

good saw stand....but
Ok, all the reviews for this stand are great,,and I also agree that it is great also, but this is a prime example of trying to make something good even better, it sometimes dosent work.I've first bought the Rousseau saw stand in 1995 when it was a simple and some what light weight. It was around $300.00 for the stand and one out feed table, and it was ready to go out of the box and it fit the 8 1/4 makita saw i had perfectly.Well its been 8 years now and its pretty worn out ,so I couldn't wait to buy a new one. This time i bought an extra side table that allows me to almost 48" cross cut.When i ordered it I understood that it fit three differnt saws, but i thought when i ordered it with the Makita 2703 it would come to fit that saw..NOT. When the table came it was very heavy,and with the extra side table on it ,,for get about it, its not eazyly portable. It wasnt ready to go out of the box , it had to be set up for the Makita, it came with a cam system that drove me crazy to try to get it square and right in the stand,and when I finally got it in the table I couln't get it to cut square, the table next to the saw wasn't installed properly at the factory, so I had to take that off and square it up. Then to find out that the saw sat down 1/8" below that table ,there where supossed to be shims that came with the saw but I couldnt find any.Then trying to install the extra side table with those set screws, when i finally got it on I wasn't about to take it off for storage. So now the table is that much heavyer and that much longer,,it took me about three hours to finally get the saw cutting like I needed it to cut,,it was very disapointing and aggravating. I do alot of custom work so the saw has to cut perfectly, the last saw stand i bought was ready to go out of the box and i think Rousseau should make there stands fit the saw you order with it ,,but after all the aggravation and set up the table works well, and I like the way it looks and is very sturdy, and i can cut full sheets a ply wood without worrying about the stand pushing over.Its worth the money but I wasnt expecting so much aggravating set up...

Rousseau Table Saw Stand
This has proven to be one of the most versatile tools I own. It is amazing how it adds to the capability of the Makita saw. This has been used for everything from construction to furniture.

Rousseau PM2700XL Saw Stand
The Rousseau PortaMax 2700XL saw stand has been the perfect addition to my 10-inch Makita 2703XL table saw. Now I can ditch the non-folding bolt-on stand that came with the saw and hampered its portability. This stand also fits the popular Dewalt DW744, some Delta, Skil and Ryobi models as well as Hitachi, but if you own the Bosch, you'll need to get the model 2500 or 2775 saw stand instead.
The Rousseau fence is a big improvement over the Makita's stock "fence O'frustration" that can easily make anyone attempting to use it with any accuracy, feel like the Rain Man. At 27-inches, the stand more than doubles my saws original rip capacity of 12-1/2 inches. I also plan to add the 2715XL table extension with the router plate, which will turn this stand into a workstation and increases my saws rip capacity to a whopping 49-inches. You can also get the table extension without the router plate if you don't need it. Adding the removable 2720 outfeed table will make this the ultimate portable package, for my needs. Setup/breakdown is a simple one-man procedure and if you work alone or move from job to job frequently, this folding saw stand is a savior.
I feel that even when totaling up the costs of this stand with my Makita table saw, the outfeed table and table extension with router plate, I will have greater functionality and still will have spent less money than I would have for a similar setup with one of Dewalt or Delta's heavy contractor saws that require two people to lift and take up almost the whole bed of your truck. In addition, since several other manufactures saws will fit the stand, if my current saw happens to quit on me in the middle of a job, and the local tool supply house doesn't have the same model to replace it, or I want to go with a different brand, I can drop in any one of the other saws listed in Rousseau's compatibility chart and be back to on line quickly.
Overall, I have no problem recommending this Rousseau stand. It is well made, reasonably priced and the available table extensions can give it excellent jobsite flexibility. Very nice.

Best Portable Saw Stand on the Market!
I bought my Rousseau 2700 saw stand nearly twenty years ago. I am a professional cabinet installer and use this product with my 8 1/4" Makita bench saw. It has been used five days a week, 50 weeks a year for nearly 20 years. It looks awful, there is virtually no paint left on it, the table board and the out feed table are full of knicks, dings, and oops cuts. In addition to use as a saw, it gets used as a workbench, utility horse, mitre saw stand, and lunch table. Through out all the years of job site use, and sometimes abuse, it is still very acurate and holds it's square as well as the day it was new! In my thirty six years in the cabinet trade I've had many tools come and go. None of them can even hold a candle to the quality and durability of this saw stand. This product deserves fifty stars! Thanks Rouseau, you are the best.

nice table
this is the best table out there i think:
1.) it's got a lot of size

2.) you can add a really great router table

3.) you can add two extensions to the front and side for some extra money.

4.) the fence is super fantastic! in fact, i like it better than the fence on the big Jet table saw

SOME PROBLEMS:

1.) its not truly portable cuz it doesn't fold up into a smaller size.

2.) it doesn't come with the measuring tape already on.. it's costs NINE dollars for a replacement

3.) it's so expensive but LOVABLE that you'll cry if you dent it

... i always check mine just in case i dented it.. it's my baby he he!! ... Read more

Designed to fit any miter saw or compound slide saw, this Trojan standis light, portable, and easy to set up. It provides 13 feet of overall support with both ends fully extended, and while we would have liked to see quick-release adjustments, it is a generous amount of room by most standards. The surface is not predrilled for mounting, so you'll have to drill and mount your saw yourself. Construction is rugged steel, and the welds are solid, as are the rollers on the extensions. In order to reduce weight, Trojan has kept the legs fairly thin, and as a consequence the unit isn't as burly as some models. But depending on the saw model you intend to mount, and where you plan to set up (indoors, outdoors, or in the shop), this may or may not be an issue. The wheels are 10 inches in diameter and roll well, and in terms of portability, the stand's relative lightness is a positive. The table measures 39-1/2 inches long by 16 wide by 35-1/2 inches tall. --Jonathon Tudor ... Read more

Best Heavy Duty Miter Stand
Last fall I purchased a 12 inch sliding compound miter saw. I soon realized I needed a place to set it up but give me the flexibility to move it out to a job site. The saw weighs 62 pounds. Thus, I needed a stand that could take the weight, easy to breakdown, and give me a work surface to support the wood I was cutting.

The stand has wing arms that extend up on each side to support the wood for cutting. The wing arms extend up and quickly adjust--I took a permanent marker and marked the location on the extension rod where the wing becomes level. This allows me to quickly lock in a level work surface.

I strongly advise getting the optional miter stop attachment. This is good for multiple cuts of the same length. However, I improved on the screw that attaches to the stand. I changed the screw to a thumb screw making it easier to move it around and make adjustments faster--hint to the Trojan folks. These wings are a real selling point in fully supporting your work. Other stands have these adjustable rollers which you have to adjust everytime you do a cut which slows you down.

When I received the stand the top board was slightly damaged due to shipping, I called Trojan--since that is what it says to do in the box. They quickly shipped me a new board. The box needed to have padding for shipping. I would suggest painting the board to match the stand or paint it an accent red color. This will keep it resistant to rain and the saw dust sweeps easily off a glossy surface. Not sure why Trojan does not paint it to begin with.

If you plan to use a big saw like mine you may need to mount the saw first to a 3/4inchx24inchx24inch plywood base, then attach the base to the top with self tapping screws. This was needed in order to allow the saw to sit back far enough to take full advantage of 12 inch wide stock on the rollers and wings. Also the saw needs the extra width of support. This did not create an off balanced stand.

Finally, if you put a heavy saw on this stand you may need a little help to fold the stand down. Just make sure the saw is locked down and can not slide.

Overall, the quality of the stand, its portability, and functionality make it a great addition to the home depot of tools.

Trojan Rolling Stand is a great worksaver
I bought a rolling miter stand because the heavy DeWalt sliding double compound saw was too heavy to lug around; also, plywood on sawhorses makes a lousy stand, and using a miter saw sitting on the floor isn't as productive as a stand.

The DeWalt stays bolted to the Trojan, since it's so easy to roll and set-up. With the Trojan's large rubber tires, I can also move the saw up and down stairs by myself, even inside a finished house.

CONs:

Trojan should use high-quality plywood for the table instead of ½" MDF. MDF looks cheap, the edges can break off, and you wouldn't want it to get wet.

It would have been nice if the folded-up stand/saw stored vertically instead of horizontally (which takes up more space.)

PROs:

Initial set-up was straight forward, it came with all the parts, and it was easy to adjust the height of the end rollers to match the height of my miter saw.

Any miter saw should work on this stand.

I can open-up the Trojan with saw attached, in under a minute, and that's being careful. Takes slightly longer to fold it up. It rolls as easily as a hand truck when folded, although since I'm tall, I have to lean over to hold it up.

For cutting short pieces of stock, neither 32 inch table extension is needed. Otherwise, unscrew a T handle bolt to lift an extension in place. Align with your eye to get the level right, and tighten the handle. Takes about 20 seconds per side. The excellent extensions have cross supports that provide multiple points of support for varying lengths of work. For really long pieces, I use a separate work stand, not attached to the Trojan.

If you'll use the miter stand outside on soft (but level) ground, consider getting one with large tires that stay down when the table is opened up (Trojan MS2000 or the Rousseau 2950). Stands that rest on 4 legs when opened (HTC HP-575PK or Delta 50-155) might sink into a soft surface (such as grass) when setting it up - OR - tip over, once set up. With the Trojan, I put a piece of wood under one end for stability, as the tires are a firm base for that end of the stand.

Another benefit of a stand with tires that stay on the ground is you can then roll the opened stand. E.g., #1 - store the stand/saw set-up in a nearby secure location for the duration of a job. Then when starting work, roll the stand/saw where it's most convenient. E.g. #2 - if the stand isn't exactly where you want it, roll it there, without folding it up. Stands like the HTC or Delta are difficult to move once they are opened, especially if you're alone.

I'm 6/4 and find the Trojan's height perfect -- the miter saw's table is 39 inches off the ground.

Everything folds up into a single compact unit, so there's nothing else to carry or remember to take, and nothing pokes out (like the extension rollers on the Rousseau 2950).

Summary: A well-thought-out functionally designed product that improves productivity -- primarily because it sets up quickly and has large rubber tires that stay on the ground. I'd get the same one again.

Crown Moulding Project made Simple
Bought a new house just recently and alway wanted crown mouldings up in the dining room. Paid to have it done initally and was surprised by how effortlessly the carpenter went about completing the project. It turned out beautiful!
Inspired by this I went about collecting the tools and knowledge to take on the other rooms in the house.
In my quest to tool-up, I found these customer reviews exceedingly helpful. Spent a generous amount of time studying my options and finally bought the Makita 12" sliding compound miter saw. Put this beauty on the Trojan platform but, this set-up in itself still required the purchase of the Trojan extension. With this I Now I have enough support to easily slide the 16 foot lenghts of crown stock from side to side pass the saw.
The initial Trojan unit was defective and Amazon quickly sent me another to replace it. I took the advice from a few of the reviews found here and replaced the mdf base with a piece of 3/4" hardwood plywood. Unfortunately, I could not simply attach the plywood onto the existing mdf saw base: That would have created a height problem with the wings, preventing the unit from folding back neatly onto itself when I wanted to break down the unit for transport. Since I definitely did not want to fuss with adjusting the height of the wings each and every time I wanted to do a project. I eliminated this tedious step by taking the mdf out altogether. Now I just roll-in and fold out the wings and everything is level with the surface of the Saw table .
I finshed the plywood base by putting a hardwood border around it to preserve the edge and to prevent things from rolling off.
The new saw base has a final dimensions of 26" by 40" which is securly attached onto the frame of the Trojan with 10 screws.
Other than that I followed the reviews and picked up a digital miter from amazon and a crown moulding book from Home Depot.
Follwed the instructions and made a complete set of Crown "Templates" as suggested which I would more that highly reccomend to anyone wanting to avoid crown "insanity."
Armed with the Makita, the Trojan platform and my Senco finish nailer I'm now on my 9th room.
P.S. To SAVE yourself alot of work, Buy the wood crown stock already primed, and give it 2 (TWO) coats of paint while it's still on the ground.

Great Stand - A Back Saver!
I'm a homeowner and word working enthusiast with a bad back. I have a very small area to store tools so I frequently had to carry a miter saw from storage to a work location. Without a stand, I was constantly bending over to use the saw. Although I have only used the Trojan MS-2000 for a couple of months, I have found it to be one of the most useful and back saving tools I own. With its large tires it moves easily over rough surfaces. It is a breeze to set up and tear down for transport. I find myself taking on projects I had put off for fear of transporting a 50 pound saw to the work site. With the Trojan MS-2000 it is easy and even fun. Bravo Trojan --- A great product!

To a casual do-it-yourselfer this one looks like a winner
Well, based mainly on the reviews written here I broke down and bought a Trojan and then modified its table similarly with an enlarged sheet of 1/2" MDF, correspondingly shifting the base of my DeWalt 708 more to the rear of the unit to increase the useable width available for material to pass and still maintain contact with the wing supports. One caveat: this procedure does tend to create imbalance with such a large amount of weight in play, especially with the Dewalt's saw blade pushed all the way back on its rails. The Trojan in this configuration hasn't tipped yet, and with material loaded there should be no issue at all. But just standing there waiting for work it is a bit tipsy.

Having said that, the Trojan appears to be mainly well constructed. The exception is the flimsy pair of caps provided to hold the cart's wheels on the axle. A better approach might be to offer an axle pre-drilled at its ends to accept substantial cotter pins, but I don't know. I will say what we have looks and feels somewhat insecure.

Also, my table doesn't fold exactly right, with one set of folding legs binding somewhat upon collapse. This further causes the little locking hook to not meet its pin correctly.

I enjoy this work station's portability immensely--those pneumatic tires roll like a dream--and even with all that dead weight of such a large saw it has not proven difficult to set up and break down. I'd advise having a helping hand with your saw rigged. I did first time it in my garage with the help of woman with a strong back and it _still_ threatened to get away from us for a second. Alone on my work site it simply got away from me and down went the saw onto the deck with a hard thud! I would imagine that fatigue and unfamiliarity with the operation played a role there, but still, with a 708 on top the operation is dicey at best.

On balance, the Trojan enhances my saw. And just think--now I've got a Dewalt 708 on wheels! ... Read more

StableMate PLUS100 Universal Miter Saw Stand
Outstanding product. Easy to store, easy to use. Very stable. Great price. My only regret is that I haven't been able to find anyone who sells additional tool mounts so that I can mount other saws, etc.

As to those who rated this product poorly just because they got it in damaged condition, complain to the delivery company about their handling, not the manufacturer. As to not returning it to the place you bought it, if you bought it locally, return it, if you mail ordered it, it would save you lots of money to request replacement parts instead of return shipping! This is a great product, regardless of people who choose to complain about things the manufacturer can't control.

Can't take a hit
This is a nice light and portable miter saw stand. It breaks down quickly and adjustments are simple and quick. With the material stop I made quick work out of cutting 200 2x2 deck railing ballisters with decorative 45s on the ends. It also is sturdy enough for any materials I've loaded it with (haven't tried a 4x10 yet). Now for the bad news. The sliding arms have very little play in their sleeves, which is mostly good (they don't sag much when not clamped down). However if your saw takes a hit, which can happen, the party is over. The aluminum arms cannot tolerate any amount of bending and still slide in their sleeves, and they are not removeable for any kind of servicing. Thus the sliding, retractable support arms become non moving, non adjustable support arms, and the saw loses alot of its usefullness. Still, it's a high functioning, light weight, and very affordable stand, so go for it. Just watch for falling ladders.

Why Pay More
I am a contractor and use a sliding compound miter quite often. I got tired of setting up on saw horses so I researched alot of stands before desiding to buy this one. This is an excellent stand. It has all the features you need, is very sturdy, and is easy to set up and take down. I can't see any reason to pay twice as much for other stands when this one does the job perfectly for half the price.

QUICK AND STURDY
I am a contractor looking for a new stand for my 8 1/2" miter saw. I wanted to get something portable and simple without sacrificing quality. After researching dozens of stands I decided on the plus 100. It sets up fast and fit my saw perfectly. The stand is constructed with heavy material and hardware that makes sense. No gizmos that get in the way. The stock supports are rounded off so it doesn't scratch the material. Other things that make this stand a good buy are; the folding legs lock in the open or closed position, the stand is sturdy but doesn't brake your back transporting it, and breaks down quick and compact. If I had to find any fault with it, it would be the extension arms slide out a little rough, but a coat of wax took care of that.

The Best Miter Saw Stand in Town
For $89.00 you can't get a better miter saw stand...and it's just a good as the Dewalt which cost $199.00.
Easy to setup...from out the box to the full setup...it only took 15 mins...maybe less.

Make no mistake this is a PROFESSIONAL MITER SAW STAND....I highly recommend you buy one today. ... Read more

Features

• Wheels make it portable
• 9-1/2 ft. cutting capacity (to the stop)
• Two cam action work supports included
• Cam lock saw mount fits all miter and chop saws
• Extension stop telescoped out of either work support

Beautifully engineered
I waited a month to get this from Amazon but it was worth it. This is a precision machine, well engineered and a pleasure to work with. If you are someone who takes pride in having good tools and knowing how to use them, this is one of those premium products that will make others envious. The instructions were good, all the parts were there. It will take you about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to assemble. My Hitachi 10" fit perfectly on it. There are cheaper stands out there, none as nice.

Best Workstation I've found.
This stand is wonderful. Assembly was a bit cumbersome, but overall, this is a very sturdy stand. I bought the T3 for my DeWalt DW708 12" Miter saw and when I put it on the stand, it handled it without a problem. Not shakey or tippy like I'd noticed with the other stands due to the saws heavy weight.

The instructions for assembly were not all that great. And any signs of how to use or adjust the stands attachments weren't evident. One problem during assembly was the wheels.. It isn't clear which way the 4 bolts should be positioned. I believe the bolts should be mounted with the head on the inside and the nuts on the outside, although I did it the reverse with the nuts on the inside. And this cause a problem with the legs folding out properly. I ended up drilling holes in the legs to accommodate the nuts, allowing the legs to open fully. However, I believe if I had reversed the nuts to the outside, I may not have had this problem....well, at least I wouldn't have had to drill very large holes. Wasn't very smart engineering..

Outside of that minor setback, after I got it together, it looked very nice, sturdy and professional. A very quality workstation and I know tools. This one is top of the line of anything available today.

Great Engineering, Love the T3!
I was at first hesitant to lay out my hard earned money for a piece of equipment that I thought I would only use once in a while. Was I ever wrong! The engineering on this miter saw stand is brilliant. I do not agree with the other reviewer below, that stated the wheels obstructed the folding legs. This is impossible unless he installed the wrong size bolts for the wheel plate. It took me about 2 hours to assemble (I was pretty meticulous in my assembly). Instructions were well written and illustrated, but could be a little confusing on some steps. My Porter Cable 12" Twin Laser miter saw fits like an italian leather glove due to the ingenious mounting system. The only thing I would change on the design would be to increase the wheel base to make transporting the saw stand even easier. It tends to tip when on rough ground. However the unit is light enough to carry by hand (almost like a laser tripod). Very solidly constructed. You can tell that a lot of engineering went into this product. Handled 16' 2x6 redwood with no problems. I am now starting to do crown molding and my wife can't wait for the results. I wish all tools were made this well. Highly recommended!

GREAT PRODUCT -- SMALL FLAW
I recently purchased a Hitachi Universal Workstation which is actually the TracRac T3 in Hitachi clothing. I used it to trim out a new house, cutting hundreds of feet of trim and moulding. It works great and is very sturdy...except a part known as a "end cap" -- a piece of brittle plastic used as a stop for the telescoping arms. The first one broke in my bare hands -- which I thought must be a fluke, the second broke the first time the extension arm reached the stop.

It has taken me awhile just to figure out that the Hitachi I bought is actually the TracRac -- so I am going to give their customer service a chance, otherwise this would be a 5 star review.

I really like how easy it easy to remove the saw from the stand and to fold up and store the stand.

Trackrack 24322 - Poorly engineered design
The stand worked OK once assembled. However the assembly is not without its problems. There were washers missing or the wrong size, and the wheel set attachment is a bear to install because the nut can hardly be grabbed for tightening. What is more upsetting though is that after installing the wheels the support legs on that side interfere with the screws and cannot be securely locked in place for the upright position. That forces you to drill two holes in the aluminum legs. The work stand is a good concept that is poorly engineered in my eyes. The stand also has a leg-span that makes it rather difficult to work in compact spaces. However once you get things corrected it seems to work fairly well. It the execution were better this could be a 5 star product. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Wood magazine loves this stand, and for good reason. It is truly high quality, it's hefty and stable, and this XL model is 9 inches wider than its little brother, the SS2875, so it accommodates even the biggest miter saws--up to 36 inches wide. Rugged, industrial locking casters roll smoothly; the wings fold down easily for storage with quick-release hinges if you're short on space. The powder-coated finish will stand up to anything, and the cross-bracing offers added stability. This larger model lets you set a stop all the way out to 84 inches. Optional accessories are available, and we suggest picking up a hand truck kit for extra portability. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Outstanding Miter Saw Stand
After using my miter saw stand now for years, I have to admitthat it is very well built. It provides great portability around myshop and offers precise cuts using the back fence that came with it. The folks at Rousseau Company have designed a crossbrace kit (model number XB 75XL) which always keeps the stand perfectly square and enhances its stability. END

Match your saw to the proper stand
I wanted to add to my other review. It is important to know that the SS2875 is the same exact miter saw stand as the SS2875XL, except that the upper shelf is 9" longer on the XL. Every other part of the SS2875 is exactly the same. Same thick materials, same heavy gauge setup. The manufacturers information ... identifies some of the larger saws Delta 36-235K, Bosch 3912B/3915B, Porter-Cable 3802/3807, Makita LS1211/1212, DeWalt DW705/708 & Milwaukee 6496/6497
... I contacted Rousseau about this, and they reassured me, that they are both the same stand, except for the 9" difference in the shelf-platform. You could use the XL with a smaller saw, but you create a larger distance from your saws base, to the beginning of the extension wings. If you do have the XL with a 10" saw, you may choose to offset the installation to the left, bringing it to within 1/8" of the stop system. Or you could center it, then move the stop measuring system over to the right, to an eighth of an inch of your saws fence. So the XL can work with a smaller saw, although it is best to mate it up with the proper model, to shorten the overall distance from the left and right wings.
I have to say, overall, once you set it up, and calibrate your measuring system, look forward to setting aside your tape measure, with the floppy tab on the end, and drawing a pencil line, that is difficult to decipher. Just set the hairline on your stop system, lay down your board, and cut it to the perfect length.
Rousseau seems to go the extra mile in their engineering, and this stand is a good example of that. Hope this helps.

Excellent but have some patience
I've used this stand for about two weeks now and absolutely love it.

My primary gripe is with the assembly and the instructions. The instructions are cryptic at best and have itty bitty little xerox copies of pictures to reference. Very painful to try to decipher. Also, depending on your saw you may have to drill some extra holes for the fence to fit right and align with your miter saw fence (I had to do this with my Bosch). It took a lot of time for me to assemble this and get it working (about four hours for me) but it works fine.

One of the components was bent in shipping and I called Rousseau and they sent me a replacement without any charge. They were very nice on the phone.

Now the good news. This is an excellent and versatile tool. It is very helpful for smaller shops as it is very easy to move around. The assembly is very sturdy and probably will last forever. The measuring fence (shown on the left side of the unit on the photo) is very accurate and reproducible. This tool really addsa lot of flexibility to the use of a miter saw.

If it weren't for the lousy instructions I would easily give this 5 stars.

Another Quality Product
I bought this particular model to mate with my Bosch sliding miter saw. A bit tight on the table-top depth side, but if you follow the instructions your saw will fit. Assembly is fast and easy..again follow the instructions...don't tighten bolts until you are told to do so! Take your time when setting up the stop assembly...yes follow the instructions again...and you'll have unparalleled accuracy. (Would have liked for Rousseau to have included another tape for the front of the stop assembly fence...but tapes are available at the hardware store.) All in all...it costs a couple of dollars more (but so does my Cadillac) than the bargain barn variety and for a couple of dollars more...you have quality and year's of service.

This thing is a bear, strong and accurate
At first I was disappointed when opening the box to find that the SS2875XL was black instead of the blue gray as shown in the picture. I like the blue to brighten up the shop. Anyhow, I quickly got over it when I discovered just how substantially this stand is made. Much thicker metal than the stands you see at major retailers.
Assembly is a breeze. It comes with both sides pre-assembled. So the sides with the wings are already attached and ready to go. All you have to do is install the top and bottom trays, the measuring-stop system, and wheels. The trays have two bolts and nuts in each corner. After hand tightening, you use a tape measure, and cross measure to make sure it is square. Then tighten it up. The cross brace keeps it true. Then you turn it over and install the wheels, using a block of wood and a hammer. They are meant to go in an never come out, unless you insist they do. The locking mechanism on the wheels is very accurate. They lock and unlock easily with a foot lever, and it holds the unit true-no moving.
This thing is a monster. When they call it the XL model, that definitely stands for EXTRA LARGE. I love it. When it folds down, it conveniently takes up a lot less space, but when fully extended by simply lifting up the wings on each side, it has a 9 foot width.
The stop system (something they call the stop system, which is actually the well made aluminum track) has two stops and two measuring tapes, one for long stock, and one for short, and they are super heavy duty. No bending a measurement. It has the clear plastic with a hairline measuring line. Everything on this unit is adjustable, so you can set it up accurately, and still tweak it in the future. That is thanks to the quad T-mounting slots under the stop system. Choose which one lines up with the fence on your saw, then for extra adjustment, they provide slotted out grooves, so you can slide the bolts front or back to perfectly align the fence-guide system to your saw. Additionally the wings have a slide adjustment on them so you can tweak them to create a perfectly flat and level stand alongs it's entire 9 foot length. The upper tray that holds your saw, has the same option, multiple mounting holes, and slotting to zero in the final setting, thereby giving you a perfectly flat mating to your saws base.
One thing that is important. I am using a Makita LS1212 on it, and that requires an optional bracket. If your saw is larger than most, check with the listing in Amazon.com's Tool Crib catalogue for the part. It is available via 800 number and phone order with Visa card etc. Even though the table on this unit is large, the Mikita base extends out the back of it. So the optional kit is neccessary. The kit is not available online.
The SS2875XL is not designed for portable use. It does have an optional larger wheel kit, but this thing is 87 pounds. Add to that my 48.5 pound saw, and you can see that hauling around a 120 pound unit, is not what you want to carry up and down the stairs. What this is, is a great unit for the shop. That is what Rousseau calls it in their catalogue that you will get with your stand. They call it a "Shop Style" stand. They have the Porta Max, and the quick fold stand if you want lighter weight, and large wheels. If I had to be portable, I think their portable unit like model 2950 is better made than the lightweight units available on the market. They give you one wing that is the same as the SS2875XL, and the other wing is like the single roller that you see on the Dewalt stands on both sides. On the left side wing, you can get the optional stop system-measuring, which is very accurate, probably the most accurate of the portables. It also gives you the advantage of a left side rack that you can place all different size boards on without having to readjust a single roller every time. It is a complete wing like the shop stand.
So there you have it. What are your needs? It would be nice to have the shop space, and be able to install a permenant miter saw with complete support out both sides. That takes up a lot of space. On the other end of the spectrum is the super lightweight portables, that are more limited in their usability, and without built in measuring systems. The SS2875XL is the ultimate answer for handling space concerns, and still getting dead on accuracy. It rolls around so easily, and is relatively compact with the wings folded down. The wings fold down so easily, with a single stop button that needs to be pushed in, and holds very well. I pop the wings up and down, just for the fun of doing it, it is that easy. It is also a super accurate stand, in holding up substantial pieces of wood, (I wouldn't hesitate to put a 12 foot 2x12 on it for cutting) and still give you hairline cutting accuracy when you want to build furniture or make any type of cut. That's quite an accomplishment. My hat is off to Rousseau. This is one first class piece of equipment. ... Read more

Reseating your tubeless tires
Ok, first let me say that I love Rousseau products and have purchased the PM2700XL 3 piece table saw system to support my new Makita 2703. Everything is as it should be, solid, refined and painstakingly well designed. This miter stand is next on my wish list.
I also have a cheap as dirt two-wheeler that I use daily at work. It features the same tubeless inflatible tires as this Rousseau stand (although not as nice). Well, I had a huge piece of furniture that wouldn't sit on the two-wheeler and fit under a doorway the other day. I thought I was being brilliant by letting enough air out of the tires to lower the thing, when 'poof' they both unseated as I hit the transom on my way through the door. My employer looked at me as if to say "you idiot" when I turned the situation into a positive display of McGyver-esqe ingenuity and regained some credibilty with him...... here is what to do:
Moisten the sidewall bead area with some water and make sure both the tire and rim are free of dirt. Take a piece of standard clothesline and tie a loop in one end and pass the other end through it to fashion a large slip-knot. If you're not handy with rope use a ratchet strap, or an old leather belt with a loop buckle. Wrap it around the centerline of the tire's tread. Cinch the rope (ratchet the strap, tighten the belt) back tightly to compress the treads in towards the center of the tire evenly. You may need someone to hold the tire for you to keep it from turning, I just used my knee. This will force the sidewalls of the tire outward and into contact with the rim. At this point, just about anything that blows air will inflate and reseat your tires. I used a Campbell-Hausfeld battery powered compressor and it did just fine. Using this technique a bicycle hand pump would probably do equally well.
Good luck and check your tire pressure frequently.

correction
Dear editors: please add the following to the review of the HD2950 that i submitted just a couple of hours ago:

I called Rousseau's toll free number and they are sending me new wheels free of charge. Their customer service was friendly, prompt, and intelligent... perfect.

This brings the stand up to 4 or 4.5 stars in my opinion... to make it up to 5 they would need to make it easier to work with while folded up -- as another reviewer said, the attachments for the T-stands stick out a lot and there's no easy place to stow the T's themselves. But in actual use I love this stand and it's always worth the setup time to use it rather than going back to repetitive measured cutoffs with a skilsaw.

Great with extension table & stops... but, tire problems.
I really love my HD2950 and it is worth every cent. I added the extension wing with cutoff stops and integral measuring tape and I get perfect repetetive cutoffs every time. The extension is very solid. I've had no problem putting a 16 foot 4x8 on this table with its extension wing and adjusting it for a perfect compound miter cut.

The partial downfall is the tires. I agree with the reviewer who said that despite their large size and bounciness they still can get hung up on rolling over, for instance, a walnut or garden hose. Worst of all, my tires came unseated after some broad temperature changes (i must not have aired them up often enough) and these particular model tires are impossible to remount with a bicycle pump. In fact I just took them to a couple of car-tire stores and they were unable to get them reseated with 200psi compressors. Apparently there is only the main bead on the tire rim, and no secondary bead to help make the preliminary seal while the pressure builds. It's near impossible to keep the rubber pre-seated on both sides while also filling them. There's probably a simple solution like "do it underwater" but i haven't found it yet. I've reseated dozens of wheelbarrow tubeless tires before but this problem appears to be different.

But I love the stand. I just might replace my tires with an equivalent size solid tire.

Great stand - could use an upgrade
First and foremost: this is a great stand. I have been futzing around with homemade mitre saw stands for years without much satisfaction. This saw stand has made a significant productivity improvement for myself and my employees. However, there are two drawbacks I wish Rousseau would address: #1 - There is no place to store the feed roller supports when the stand is folded. I stash them between the table and the folded legs which works OK until you need to lay the stand down in the truck bed and then the supports fall out. Other than that, this is a great tool. #2 - There is no intermediate (roller) support so you have to constantly adjust the feed rollers in and out as you cut moulding down and then get a new piece. If there was an intermediate support, then you could set it up so that both a long and short piece of stock could be supported without adjustment.

Mostly Good but . . .
I likely would have given this stand a 3.5, but obviously not an option. My rationale is fairly simple. The stand/ saw (mine a Hitachi C10fs)is handy to roll where you need it in most cases. It will take a minute or two to get the rollers, stock support . . . set up, but with much less work than sawhorses and some other stands. I beleive that comparatively speaking, the Rousseau stand is far better built than the Trojan or Delta stands. In general I am satisfied. Where I think the saw falls and unfortunately I do mean falls short, is in wheeling the saw around. Going down steps, pushing over multiple extension cords, wood . . . can without too much effort, result in the saw flipping over or worse into you shins. ( Been there ! ) The stand has such a short wheelbase, which aids the stand in tight quarter manuevers; but also allows the stand and saw to flip easier than I would expect. Despite the big tires, they get hung up on more than I imagined.If you can keep the notion in mind to push down low, once the rear legs are folded when moving this saw around, I think it is a well made stand, that will last for years of serious work. For general in shop use though, I would likely build a cart with storage and save the money. The stand definitely helps with portability of heavy & awkward saws, ( which is likely why you're looking for portable stands ) but this one can get out hand a little too quick, when trying to be quick. Good, but not exactly everything I had hoped for. ... Read more

Doubles the value and usefulness of your portable saw!
I bought this table extension and fence for my Makita 10" portable table saw. The Makita came with a terrible fence that was almost always off-center and inaccurate. Even worse, the table was so small, you could only make cuts up to 12" wide. This table extension makes the saw able to rip full size sheet goods (the long way) and the fence makes the Makita a decently accurate saw to work with. So far I've used this combination for making speaker cabinets and homebrew arcade controls cabinets and it has exceeded my expectations. Rousseau has built a very high quality product.

Portamax JR PM2600D, You Bet!
Easy to install and easy to adjust. Although not noted in the writeup, the Portamax JR PM2600D is a direct bolt up for the Makita 2703 XL table saw. This makes this saw 1) accurate and #2)enable a 24" rip. This allows the accuracy of the rousseau table, but also allows you to use the stand that comes with the Makita 2703 XL saw. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

PortaMax Jr, turns portable tabel saw into contractor's saw
Adding the PortaMax Jr to your 8-1/4" or 10" Bench-top table saw gives you an accurate saw with a precise rip fence, equal to many higher priced Table Saws. Allow ripping a full 4X8 sheet of plywood lengthwise. This accesory is easy to install and Rousseau provides prompt replies to any questions that arise during installation.

Table fits Delta, Makita and most other portable contractor's saws and allows you to make precise cuts using the strong, secure fence. I have used this accessory with my Delta 8-1/4" saw for cabinet making, and general woodworking.

The table is strong and is easily adjusted to remain level with the saw table. I am very satisfied and now I have a versatile table saw tha is nearly as accurate as rigs costing more than the saw and PortaMax combined. ... Read more

good stand, lousy instructions
This looked like the best stand for my Makita ls1013. First box came with more than have the pieces damaged! How can that happen? The second unit came with mimimal damage, not enough to worry about but not perfect. Problems: 1)one of the tabs that holds bolts for the table was off by about 1/4 inch compared to the others. Didn't affect anything but where's the QC? 2)The instructions made no mention of the diagonal support struts or the difference in bolt size to hold them. not hard to figure out - service center said I must have accidently gotten a old manual - funny because my first damaged unit had the same old instructions. 3) instructions say to measure height of the saw platform and then mount the stand table this far down from the wings. 2 problems with this, first there is no one place on the wings that is a reference point, you need to lay a long straight edge along the wing to get the average. However the wings have some adjustment too so there is no real reference point. With a lot of trial and error I managed to get it very close and proceeded to mount the saw to the table. First had to mount the extra bracket for the makita (no real good instruction for getting this even with the table itself - ended up clamping two straight edges to the table and then clamping the bracket to the straight edges). Second, Got the saw mounted and tightened down and went back to check the saw table to the wings and realized I was about 1/16 to low!!! Turns out that there are rubber feet on the bottom of the saw that got compressed by the bolts, accounting for the difference. Already had the saw mounted to the table but needed to raise it. Figured out the best way was to turn some of my clamps into spreaders to jack up the table after loosening the bolts. This worked pretty well but still had to mess around with the wings ( the wing adjustment changes the angle, not really the height), Called service and told them about this and my "new and improved way" to adjust the table height and he said that's the way everybody at the company does it!!! and he didn't know why that method wasn't in the instructions. They had never considered the problem of the compression of the feet 4) now on to the tape measure. they give you two little allen wrench looking wires that are supposed to hold the edge of the tape off the rail so the exposed glue doesn't stick to the metal before you're ready. I couldn't get this to work, not enough space under the rule to accept the spacer. Service said that they knew that didn't work and everyone just ignored this part of the instructions. If you were really careful you could slide the tape in and it would stick until you were ready. This did work.

I could not believe that the real way you put this thing together was so different than the instructions and that the service guy was willing to admit it. Makes you wonder what is going on that they won't admit to.

Finally got it up and running and it seems like a decent unit, fence is nice and accurate and the foot print is small when folded down. still need to figure out a dust collection shroud.

Don't waste your money on cheaper stands!
I bought the Delta Universal Miter Saw Stand first. I thought I could save $100. Boy, was I sorry. It was too big, too complex and too narrow for my PC saw. I gave it away and bought the Rousseau XL model. It's sturdy, easy to store and move and the wings with the fence system is ideal. Don't waste your money like I did. Go for the gold!

High-quality stand in a compact footprint
This is a sturdy roll-around stand great for use in a crowded shop or garage. When not in use it has a small footprint and can be parked out of the way. When you need it, there's no complicated set-up. The wings pop up easily and you're ready to go.

I'm using it with a Makita LS1013 which is quite a large sliding compund saw. There's a long L-shaped extrusion available for [money] that bolts to the back of the saw stand to increase the table depth by 2".

Great product
I bought this stand for my Hitachi C10FSK saw. I've been using it for a few weeks on a cabinet building project and love it. What a back saver! I wish I'd purchased this years ago when I first bought the saw. It really speeds the set-up and tear down process in a small shop where mulitple tools share a small space. Absolutely love the dual folding wing functionality and design. So easy and accurate to use, assuming care is taken in the initial assembly of the stand (in particular the squaring of the stand with your saw and the application of the measuring tape). It's such a pleasure to cut stock without having to pencil mark cut points and align the mark with the saw blade. The flip down stock stops take care of this. These stock stops are very nice to work with and reading the measuring scale accurately is simple with the clean markings and the thin but clear hatch mark. I have to say that with one exception, everything works smoother than expected. Even the wheels work great and can ride over 1/2" high offset from crack and settling in my concrete floor with no problem. The only thing I see needing improvement is the attachment weld tab sizes for the two rear cross bars that help to square and stiffen the stand. There was a slight interference between the x-bar and the weld bead on my stand. This caused no problem other than a slight deformation of the bar when the screw was tightened. Nothing that affects the functionality of the stand. It's a well built, strong high quality product with superior fit and finish. Enjoy one for yourself!

Good value
Here's the deal. This base makes small table saws a lot more useful. It took about 1.5 hours to set up and tune. Quality and parts were ample - I added a few flat washers to improve connections.

It fit my saw ProTech 4006 even thought that model number was not listed. Fence and ruler are high quality - remember this is the reason to buy it - 100% better than stock fence on any small saw.

I trimmed a bit here and there but found it worth what I paid. Note - this makes the under table router mount much more useful too!

Quality Control?
This stand has helped me out a lot. The only problem is that the fence cam did not work when it arrived the holes were drill in the wrong places. Infact it just barley fit over the rail. I called to get a replacement. Still waiting months later. So I ground the cam down and it works pretty good now. It is a shame thet don't care enough to send a replacement and don't check their product closer before they ship it.

Save your money
I got this unit and was not thrilled from the get go. It took alot of work to make it fit my Makita saw, much more than the adds claimed. Had to drill new holes,shim up the table to meet the saw table, and really mess with it,alot.The "adjustable legs are just a friction screw, that looks like they may last a year.I am an contractor,who has worked in the trades for over 25 years.This isn't worth $200.00, not if you are working with your tools for a living.

Worth every penny
This bad boy can take an ordinary bench saw and turn it into a high end cutting machine. I bought one for my Makita 2708 about six years ago. Let me tell you , it just made the saw so much more useful. Not only do you get increased capacity , you get increased safety. This thing is rock solid. If you buy this spend a little more and buy the outfeed table. The whole setup is very impressive. Sheet goods , even by yourself, are a piece of cake. Long stock is no problem. You don't have to push the stock half way and then hurry and jump around back to pull it the rest of the way through. Just safely and smoothly push it through from the front. After having one of these for so long , I can't stand using someone elses table saw.Unless they have this or a rousseau. Even the new Dewalt and Bosch saws are no match for this. When I got my new Makita 2703 I bought the rousseau instead of another Trojan. There are many differences. The advantages this has over the rousseau:

1 It's much easier to set up. 2 It's much easier to move around 3 It stores as one unit 4 It's lighter 5 It has wheels so you don't have to carry it

Now the advantages of the rousseau:

1 You're not stuck with the whole unit all the time 2 For small jobs you can use the saw by itself 3 It's more stable 4 It's built heavier 5 The fence is Wider and longer and operates more smoothly 6 The Table has formica on top and bottom , not melamine on just the top 7 The outfeed table adds even more stability 8 You can't lose the legs as they are part of the design

Either way you can't go wrong!

Fits Most Saws
In case you're wondering if the RipMaster will work with your saw, it most likely will. It's universal design will attach to just about every aluminum top, direct drive, benchtop saw made (including the Makita 2702 and 2703). It doesn't fit the Dewalt 744, the new Bosch 4000 or the Ryobi BT3000, but Trojan makes a cart/stand model for those saws too(SC-744). Good luck. ... Read more
