DEWALT Miter Saw Stand with Wheels (DWX726), Yellow

DeWalt tools are my favorite. They are well-built, reliable, and make every job easier. I’ve had a great experience with their products and highly recommend them. If you’re using a DeWalt tool stand and need to lower it, don’t force it. Turn the red locking knob first, lift the handle up, then push down firmly. The hydraulic system will lower the stand smoothly. I hope this tip helps someone using the stand for the first time. Great tools and great quality!

I won't go cover the same ground as other reviewers suffice to say that its a good piece of kit and deserves every star that I've given it. What I would like to cover in my review is the things that other reviewers haven't covered: - its BIG! I stand 6' tall and this reaches my chin when its stood upright. - Its heavy (read well constructed). Which explains why it cost an arm and a foot in shipping costs - the basic unit comes in one piece with assembly required for the lower legs, riser handle and material support rollers - looking at it, it looks a bit flimsy around the wheels. Don't believe your eyes! It's constructed in such a way that there isn't a flimsy piece in it - when closed down, there is a locking bolt that prevents the mechanism from opening while vertical - the material supports use an unusual split tube mechanism to control vertical movement. Not sure how I feel about this - although a universal mounting, the hole spacing on my saw meant that I couldn't mount it dead centre in the tray. - there is a clearly defined front and back. The front has the logo (of course) and the back has a cord minder - when sliding the the material support roller arms on, there is a detent which prevents over extension or removal - comes with a handy onboard hex key. I was unable to find the spanner mentioned in the assembly instructions Just a few things I'd like to mention/expand on: My inability to mount my saw dead centre on the tray is a minor thing. I intend at some point to make an adapter plate which should resolve this. I don't have a De Walt saw but I'm sure if I did, that it would fit perfectly. Further, this trolley/workstation is of such a size that it should cater to even the largest compound mitre saw. one of the material support rollers isn't parallel to the floor. Not sure what to make of this yet but I don't consider it majorly alarming. I chose the De Walt over the Porter Cable version partly because it was minorly cheaper but mainly because the Porter Cable had a number of reviewers complaining about the lifting mechanism locking up. Strange as the PC version appears to be exactly the same design as the De Walt. Before purchasing this, I had considered building my own out of wood. Ultimately I decided not to due to uncertainty about stability. The price of the De Walt was competitive but I really got killed on shipping costs. I'm presently getting together items for constructing my own own router table so will probably revisit the idea for for that project. Given that the router installation will be much lighter and not be under such heavy weight stress, the idea is probably much more practical. Finally, some background info. The concept of a rolling stand is pitched at job site portability. In my case (being a hobby woodworker based in my garage), I felt that my compound mitre saw was a tool that I would use infrequently hence I wanted a scenario where I could readily access it but pack it out of the way when I didn't need it. Now that I've had a bit of experience with this form of portable workstation, I'm keen on doing the the same for my router table (as mentioned) and also (at some point in the future) my table saw upgrade. As an amateur woodworker, I operate out of my garage and that is a space that is rapidly decreasing in size. The idea of easily moved, easily setup workstations has a great deal of appeal. Addendum: All my previous comments stand however my perception of this unit has changed slightly in light of recent discoveries. Let me explain: As mentioned I am planning to upgrade my table saw at some point in the future. I've had my eye on a De Walt DWE7491 for some time but have recently discovered the Metabo version (sorry don't know the model number). The De Walt has a matching stand much like the Rolling Mitre Saw Stand (sold as a separate unit) whereas the Metabo has wheels and four built in legs which unfold from the unit itself. I'm becoming very taken with the Metabo... its compact, centre of gravity is low (basically on the floor) but its still portable. In light of this, I'm beginning to see the Rolling Mitre Saw Stand as using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. As far as I'm aware, no-one makes anything similar to the Metabo concept for Mitre saws so buying one is out of the question. However as an amateur woodworker, making one is quite achievable. Having said all of that, this takes away nothing from this unit. In my opinion, it remains an excellent choice for job site portability and certainly the best one that is commercially available.

It is expensive for sure but makes using my super heavy miter saw so much more enjoyable and easy to move around and set up

I will say that this stand is not exactly "perfect" for absolutely everything I want it to do, but it's close enough that I would call it the only realistic option for what I was trying to achieve with it. For years I've had a dedicated chop-saw station in my (very small one car garage) shop: saw in the middle, with large work tables projecting from either side, to handle long material. I needed to drastically downsize the footprint of the "shop" duties of the garage space, due to the need to accommodate charging of a newly-acquired electric vehicle. The chop saw situation proved to be the most difficult problem to solve. At first I was somewhat deterred from this stand as an option, I think just due to it being a "job site" stand -- the saw never leaves the garage, so I'm not taking it "onsite" anywhere. But the more I looked at it, the more I realized: yeah, that's probably just about perfect, or close enough. And, alas, it definitely is just what I needed to free-up a TON of space. Now, granted, I am storing the saw on the stand exactly in the way DeWalt tells you not to: standing upright. However, the warnings in the instructions, against doing this, are purely about tipping hazard. And, to be sure, if you stored the saw standing upright, out in free space, it would be disconcertingly wobbly and wouldn't take much to tip it. However, I'm storing it up against two supporting walls. And I made a sort of cleat for the stand arm to rest on. The set-up is absolutely bombproof -- I've pushed on it -- hard -- and it's not going anywhere. So with just a modicum of practical consideration, you can absolutely store the saw standing upright. Do I miss the convenience of being able to walk up and use my chop saw at any given moment, without any set-up or take-down? Yes, a little. But it's not actually nearly as big of a deal as I thought it might be. In fact, there are advantages. By pulling the saw into a more central location (rather than backed-up against a wall), it's a lot easier to clean up after use, and putting the saw away each time encourages me to keep it pristine, rather than just skipping that step. The portability is actually amazing. It's so easy to maneuver into place. Setting it up and taking it down is easy enough. It's very slightly fiddly, and I do worry a tad about long term durability of the lift system, but right now it's fine. What's also unexpectedly great, for me, is the ability to take the saw out of the garage. If I expect to be doing a lot of cutting, I can take it out onto the driveway in order to avoid filling the garage airspace with light dust to settle everywhere. The extension arm feature is fantastic -- it's so nice to have handling of long material built right into the stand, rather than having to go through set-up acrobatics. The one issue I have is that the arms do want to flex down a bit, and the amount of flex depends on how far you have them extended -- which translates in the need to reset the height of the supports. For me this is not a huge problem because my projects tend in the direction of doing a bunch of similar cuts all at once -- rarely do I have the need to be switching back and forth. I have to saw that assembly was a bit fiddly and frustrating. There are certain aspects of the design that I think could use some low-key debugging. If they ever release a Mark II version, and fix a handful of minor annoyances, I'd consider it. It's a great stand and will be my solution until they invent a full sized chop saw station that materializes out of thin air when I need it, then disappears when I'm done :-)
