3.0 out of 5 stars Some Good Some Bad, March 27, 2003

By 

Richard D Auman (Lindon, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW723 Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a good product with some flaws.
The Good:
Very portable and fast and easy to set up.
It is stable (much more stable than it looks).
Long adjustable supports.
Flip stops are handy for repetitive cuts.
The price - quite reasonable when you look at the competition (or even the previous version of this stand).

The Bad:
The biggest problem is that the supports are just too small. Yes you can position the support 12' from the blade but there is no support in between. This is a problem when squaring the ends of 16' mdf moldings - they really sag. Cutting mdf moldings upright is even worse - a slight bend in this scenario results in the molding falling of the front or back of the support.
The supports adjust easily to match the height of your saw. The problem? Plan on adjusting them constantly because they will not stay put. Also the beams that the supports sit on have some wiggle room to allow them to slide in and out. At full extension the beam can be move as much as 3/4" up or down

My review is somewhat negative because I wanted potential buyers see both sides - all the glowing reviews hide some flaws. However, I still really love this stand. You can not beat the portability of this stand. The problems I have found have been solved in some other stands but those things are just huge beasts. The portability is far more important to me. Also the stiffer your material the better. The stand really shines for rough carpentry - where small variances with the stops don't matter, the height of the supports can be off a bit, and the material is straight enough to not fall off the support or sag in between. I have often cut 4 x 12's for headers (as long as 14') and the stand held the up perfectly.
Most of my grievances only arrise when using MDF moldings. The fact that I do so regularly is probably the biggest factor in my 3 star rating.
In case you were wondering - I'm a contractor and I have used this stand almost every day for about 18 months.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a large saw horse., December 22, 2003

By 

Samurai Dave "periwinkleandpacific" (Ventura, ca United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW723 Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've have cut my share of board feet while squating in front of my miter saw while it was on the floor. As I get older, this was going from being inconvenient, to a real pain in the back. (Literally!) There was no way to support the ends of the board other than shimming with scrap lumber prior to each cut. I tried mounting it on top of my B&D Workmate, but supporting the ends of the boards became even more of an issue. I knew I wanted a mitersaw stand, but which one?

I liked different features of the different stands I reviewed, like large wheels, heavy construction and additional work supports. Some looked like I could copy their design and weld from square tubular steel. Weight would be a consideration. Combine this with the weight of the saw, it could be over 160 pounds. Getting it into and out of my SUV without trashing my bumper (and my back) would be a trick. Using aluminum rectangular tubing would be lighter, but really pricey! After looking at the others, I decided on the Dewalt 723. I am glad I did! Most of the others come in kit form, the 723 is fully assembled. It folds into a compact package, is relatively light, very sturdy, made from high quality components, and it is one of the most professional looking stands around (especially when mounting a matching Dewalt miter saw on it!).

Most bolts have Allen-wrench heads. Any that are adjusted often (such as the extention arms and supports) have large T-handles. All nuts are the type that have nylon lock-washers to keep from vibrating loose. The saw brackets attach (and detach) quickly from the main beam. There are rubber feet attached to the brackets so the saw can be used alone on a bench (or on the floor...) if desired. The arms will support 99.5% of the lumber I will be chopping without sagging. When I want to throw an 8' 4x12 on the stand, it will require supports (2x2s will do) clamped to the arm, extending down to the ground. Other stands have these extra supports already attached, but are unneccessary for the vast majority of my cuts; and will only add to the weight and complexity of break-down for transport.

By folding down my rear seat of my SUV, I can get the stand to fit with ease. The saw is detached, and placed next to it. I will probably attach a pair of 10" phenumatic wheels to one end for easier protability around a job site. I like the table saw extention the Delta folks have on their stand (model 50-155), and will incorprorate a small extention similar to theirs on the DW723. There are some cheaper stands around, but they were either too heavy (up to 90 lbs for the stand alone!) or too flimsy (for mounting a DW708 12" compound sliding miter saw). The package arrived in fine shape with no damage to the stand.

I highly recommend this stand. Now that I have one, I wonder why I didn't get one sooner. I'll never go back to squating on the floor again.

4.0 out of 5 stars So You're A Serious DIY'er?, October 30, 2002

By 

"oldsarge3" (Olympia, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DW723 Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

Let me say up front that if I owned a DeWalt miter saw, I'd give this stand a perfect 5.

As a previous reviewer brought up, the Makita saw is a bit deeper, and for some reason the rear mounting holes are inset from the front mounting holes. No problem if you are resourceful, and have a little angle iron on hand. Being able to adapt additional mounting rails to a variety of tools could make this an extremely versatile tool. Imagine unclipping your miter saw, and dropping on a tablesaw, bandsaw, or sander, with each swap taking less than 30 seconds!

After I fabricated a few mounting rail extensions for my Makita, the saw dropped onto the mounting rail like silk! There's a lot to like about this stand. It is immediately solid, and no hint of being tipsy even when the sawhead on the 12" saw is locked to the rear position.

I was concerned that the extensions would be too flimsy to support a long deck board, but after I leveled the extension to the table (more on this later) it was very solid, and sliding the 2x6x12 back & forth as when you are aligning a cut mark, there was very little deflection or bouncing.

After I initially mounted the saw, I found that the Makita table is higher than the supports will go. I plan to modify a set of my own design to match my saw. DeWalt may have balked at making a more universal base, but the fact is there are a LOT of different brands of saws out there and only a handful of quality tables available. Don't know about the big boys, but I've never turned up my nose at a potential revenue stream!

In the folded position, the stand is a little bulky, especially after hoisting 2x goods all day, but not too bad. From the time the stand comes off the truck to set up & ready to work, has been as fast as 2 minutes! I don't think the Trojan can be set up that fast, and that table is very tipsy with a 12" saw mounted to the rear of the table.

If you have a DeWalt saw, this stand is a no-brainer. If you have a different brand of saw, I'd advise taking the time to make a plywood base as instructed by DeWalt to mount your particular saw. This one is tough and ready to go to work right out of the box.

Happy Cutting!
