i purchased the mm2500 for my dewalt. i had the dewalt stand, out and side supports. it got to be a real pain to move this set up. either lift the saw and put it down move the stand pick up and replace the saw, or have someone help pick up the stand and saw. the third option was dragging it. i chose the rousseau over the trojan for the options; router table and fence. if you have the dewalt and order the optional mm2515(router table/side support), be forwarned it must be lifted off to rip smaller than 8in as the saws rack and pinion hit the support. for this flaw i minus 1 star. i also suggest the outfeed support and brkt(m2520 and m2521) as this gives more support than dewalts. now i find myself waking up in the middle of the night, going out to the garage just to roll it to a different spot.

Simple to assemble, set up and use. I have a Makita, and Rousseau said I had to make a plywood base. It works great. Better than what comes with the saw. It is built for the beasts out there, so it is a bit big to go in and out of my trailer. No more saw off, move stand, saw on. Just push the button and(be careful..pinch hazard!)fold up the wheels.

I know it's kind of expensive, but it'sreally worth it. I was having trouble moving my Bosch "portable" table saw even though I'm a burly 6'5, 250 pound guy until I got it. It's a real sturdy stand that let's me move the saw easily - down 50 yards of gravel driveway from my shop to my house, then up six steps to the deck without hassle. I also wheel the saw to make the best use of shop space. I move it inside my shop as needed to cut large boards, or into a corner for storage. I generally don't fold the saw stand up unless I'm loadining it into my pickup.

I bought this stand after talking to Rousseau and being assured that the stand would work well with the Porter Cable 3812. Well . . . .they have included pre-drilled holes for the PC, but that's about it. You can't store the miter gauge on-board anymore (which means the cord storage is gone also), and the fence is in the way when storing upright (although you can move it). I was really disappointed, because this thing is built really well and would have been nice to have. Amazon is picking it up in the morning.

I installed my DeWalt portable table saw on the Rousseau 2500 that I bought from Amazon. It is the perfect stand for my situation which only requires that I roll it around my garage when I need to use or store it. The saw and the stand combined are quite heavy but easy to manage. Assembly was easy and it is well built. It remains very steady and solid while you are making cuts. It really reduces the chore of setting up my table saw. I have not tried folding it yet as I have not needed to. I would highly recommend it to someone who needs to wheel their 'portable' table saw around.
