DEWALT Miter Saw Stand With Wheels (DWX726), Yellow

Like every woodworker I know, my shop space is limited. EVERYTHING must be portable and/or on wheels. My wife has the twisted perception that her car should sleep in the garage at night. Women! Actually, it has become a blessing in disguise. When I put everything away and in it's place so that she can park in her half of the garage, it forces me to be neat and tidy.....................and creative, utilizing every cubic inch.My DeWalt Miter saw is not a tool which I use every day.....................but I would like to use it more than I do. It was always such a pain to hoist it on top of my outfeed table and cut the various pieces to length. Yes a cross-cut sled works well when the stock is two to three feet in length. Pieces longer than that are just too cumbersome..................and dangerous to try and cut to length on the table saw. Table saw kick backs are scary so when I process my raw lumber, which is usually purchased in 10' lengths, I go to the miter saw, and since my limited shop space doesn't allow for a dedicated miter saw set-up, I have always struggled with set-up, hobbling together a jury-rigged cutting station. I knows that "purist" woodworkers sometimes feel that the miter saw is a construction site tool and simply is not precise enough for fine woodworking. Personally, I don't know what planet they are living on. Most modern miter saws have such sturdy and elaborate adjustment mechanisms that they are capable of incredibly precise...................and repeatable cuts.Now..................as to my review of this miter saw stand.Packaging is wonderful..................and the stand itself is built like a tank. The assembly is fairly intuitive which is good since the printed instructions are horrible.Once assembled, which requires about 15 - 20 minutes, I placed my miter saw on top and attached it as instructed. The hoisting and lowering mechanism is smooth................and really effortless with the gas assisted piston. When collapsed, my miter saw stores neatly against the wall yet sets up rapidly when needed.Bottom line? This is NOT a substitute for a dedicated miter saw station. There is no extended fence. Because there is no extended fence, there is no adjustable stop against which the work piece can be registered for repeatable cuts. But I didn't expect any of these and it's NOT what I purchased this stand for. I bought this to solve a portability problem which it does marvelously. It is amazingly rugged, gracefully balanced and portable as can be. It is probably better suited for the construction site than a furniture shop, but all of us must improvise.This tool does exactly what I wanted it to and with a little ingenuity, I have designed and built an extended fence system for repeatable cuts. Overall, I love this thing. VERY well built and exceptionally engineered.Lastly, it is so adjustable that almost ANY brand of miter saw will attach easily. I would definitely make the same purchase again.

I recently purchased the DEWALT Miter Saw Stand with Wheels (DWX726), and I couldn't be happier. This thing is a game-changer!Easy Setup: Assembly was a breeze, and the instructions were clear and concise.Sturdy Construction: The stand is incredibly sturdy and feels very well-built. It's rock-solid even when cutting large pieces of wood.Smooth Rolling: The wheels make it a cinch to move the saw around my workshop.Adjustable Height: The adjustable height feature is a huge plus, allowing me to work comfortably at different heights.Overall, I highly recommend this stand to anyone who owns a miter saw. It's a fantastic investment that will save you time and effort.

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 instructionsJust 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.

Purchased the Dewalt miter saw stand so I can move it anywhere I want to go. Was easy to assemble and works great. Can easily travel up stairs, around the back of the house ( hilly behind house ) to repair fence. I’m really impressed with ease it sets up and collapses down. Confess I have Craftsman mounted on it but any miter will mount to it. Sorry Dewalt, least I bought stand.

Great item. Terrible directions. Even though I'm an engineer and have suffered the through many ikea builds and other construction projects, these are quite possibly the worst assembly directions I have ever seen. There are no words, just a few pictures with numbered items. They are simple TERRIBLE. Please dewalt, do better!Having said that, the device is very sturdy and built well. It is heavy but balanced and once it is built relatively easy to move. I'm a small female and struggled a bit to heft it but again once it is assembled it's a lot more manageable. It makes storage of your tool easy.
