The Ridgid mobile miter saw stand is great. It's strong heavy duty easy to use.
BUT the price at Amazon can be beat, Home Depot is selling at $180.00 minus. Big
Savings, sorry Amazon.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT for everyday carpentry, December 18, 2010

This review is from: Ridgid AC9944 Mobile Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have to say when I first got this stand, about a year ago at Home Depot on a Christmas special I was very excited. I had been thru a couple of table type stands and one rail style, about a stand a year, and was due for a new one. This seemed the perfect fit for me and I was excited.

The Pros:

Huge wheels make stairs easier
Hybrid table/rail design allows for workspace and quick detatchment of the saw
Sturdy when set up
Quick transition from rolling to work station

So with that I thought great stand and off to work I went. First day out I began to think maybe I had made a mistake. Loading the stand into the truck was work. @ close to 100#'s it was heavy. and impossible it the saw was still mounted (a 12 inch Bosh sliding compound). But I thought maybe the weight would equal durability and so I looked past the weight issue.

Well...not so much. Within a month the support leg for one of the outfeeds was jammed when we went to pull it out. We got it halfway and then it was really stuck. Nothing budged her. I resorted to partial disasembly and then realizing it was futile cut the support leg off. A month after that the outfeed on the other side would not telescope, turns out the support leg had gotten jambed and was blocking the exstension.

Cons:

TOO heavy

Poor craftmanship means it won't stand up to daily use or travel.

Update: Now the frame under the table that guides the raising and lowering is messed up. The fastner that acts as a guide had a pop rivit on the end to hold it in place and apparently it popped off. Not knowing this and with the saw and stand in the lowered position I went to raise it up, in the process the broken side jammed and the other side raised twisting the frame. I know your thinking why did I pull so hard when raising it. Well the saw and stand weigh 150# together so raising it is not lite affair. So after a year yet onother stand is dead. Trying the Bosh next. Had good luck with there tablesaw gravity rise stand so maybe the miter stand will hold up too?...wish me luck

I bought this stand about one week ago at Home Depot for less than what Amazon is selling it for, and I can't be more pleased with it. I was tired of lugging my 12" Dewalt compound miter saw around and having to set up saw horses and a piece of ply wood every time I wanted to use it. My saw fit nicely on the adjustable rails. The stand is easy to move from place to place and is quite durable. The vacuum air cylinder mechanism makes raising and lowering the deck a breeze. Storage is great. In the vertical position the stand and saw are extremely stable so you won't have to worry about it falling over when not in use, and the foot print of it is quite small as well. I liked it so much I went back and bought a second stand for my wet-saw also. The Rigid stand is far better than any of the others out there. If you are looking for a sturdy, easy to use stand for any saw you won't be disappointed with this one.
