Rigid Miter Saw Stand (MSUV)

[ragswl4]

Just saw this on clearance at the San Marcos, Ca BORG. Price was $99. I couldn't get one, too big for my car but stepson is picking one up for me this afternoon. Don't know if other stores are clearing these out or not.

SKU:206-676.

Is that the old style or the new style? The older ones were on clearance back in April for $99, this one might be left over. I'll be surprised if they are getting rid of the new style after only being out for a few months.

Its the old style. New one was $169.

Even if it is the old model it is still a good deal - the new one looks a bit nicer, but the old one works fine for me.

I love the old model. I haven't had a chance to use the new one, but I have two of the old and they are fantastic IMO.

About half a dozen in Carson, CA store at that price.

What's the difference? I assume mine is the old style. I have no complaints. It's a very versatile stand.

General shape, construction materials, design and weight. From what I have read, it is easier to mount things to the old one (non traditional items, and some odd brands)

I thought it was the other way around - doesn't the new one have mounting brackets that make it easier to mount different tools? I had to drill holes to mount my Hitachi slider. That said, it is certainly easy enought to mount and, if you are not changing tools, it doesn't really matter.

[LinuxRandal]

The sliding brackets make it easier to mount higher end miter saws, but from different things I have seen (other miter stands) and other tools (different planners and other tools), some of the off brands won't work without a wood plate.

Long sentence, I know.

Has anyone out there used one of these (old one) to mount a planer? Seems like a way to have a stable platform with in/outfeed rollers.

Yep, I mounted my Ridgid planer on it and ran at least 150 bf through it. It had been the permanent home for the planer till this winter and I needed to put the miter saw on it when I installed the family room hardwood floor.

I just carefully drilled some holes and bolted it on. Be very careful where you are drilling.

I had a Jet then, subsequently, Delta 22-580 mounted on a piece of 3/4 ply on top of the the older MSUV. Worked just fine. I recently moved the Delta Planer onto a Delta stand and put a chop saw on the MSUV.
