    Was just at the Glenview store during lunch, they have none.

    In addition the Niles (West) store supposedly has 5 Randhurst & Schaumburg both have none listed.

      It works great. Having the adjustable supports is wonderful when doing the long boards.
      I had to drill mounting holes (I have the Ridgid planer). Make sure you check underneath before you drill any holes, so you don't drill through more than just the tabletop. Then I marked the holes with a sharpie marker to indicate which holes are for the planer and which are for the miter saw. I am getting too old to bother to remember such details.....

        .

        Borg SKU's are the six digit numbers with the dash after the first three:A 206-676. Oddly enough, mine said E206-676, but the numbers are what they go by.

        ANYONE IN THE NYC AREA:

        If you take the Belt pkwy to Erskine St, the first exit in Brooklyn after Queens, the HD there had AT LEAST one left, as of 6:15 pm, Wed, 3/5.(today). Their computer said 37!!, but in fact I found 4, 2 each in separate places (more about this later) in the same aisle; my guess is they probably have more if the inventory says 37, but of course I stopped looking after 1! They were way up on the absolute top of the rafters on the right of the hardware (nails and screws) aisle, about 1/3 of the way down the aisle, if you were walking down it from the front of the store. You should see the SKU # in black magic marker before you will rcognize the package, they were so dusty you really couldn't tell what it was without the SKU, so thanks much to those who posted it! It was connected by shrink wrap to another larger Ridgid package of something that was below it.
        Now, when the guy got the forklift and pulled one down, it turned out to be the AC9944, even though someone had marked it as 9940. I told him that wasn't the right one, showed him the SKU again, and he went up and looked at the other two, of which I now own one.
        So, there was AT LEAST one left, maybe more.

        So many people here don't put their City/ State so that you know it's worth posting, I hope there's someone nearby that can benefit from it.
        It is 98 lbs, and 53 inches wide. I know because I had to measure it to see if it would fit in the back seat of my 2005 Camry, and it did by 1 inch! Boy, does my wife's back hurt!
        BTW, the package only showed the markdown to $149.99, but it does ring up as $49.50.

        GOOD LUCK!

          Do you know what was added to make the new one 'new'? Anything substantial?

            Herb,

            Check the ridgid forum. i think there's a thread devoted to it.

              I few things were mentioned on a couple of threads here and there, last spring. Just an offhand comment here and there. No thread that really talked about it, that I know of. I suggest doing that Stormbringer said.

              I seem to remember that the new one is heaver, sturdier, different method to mount things. Don't quote me on any of these, going from memory, been drunk and slept since then.

                    I've had my 12"SCMS attached to the old MSUV for some time now and have seen the new one in the store. I can't see how the new one is any heavier - the old one is a monster. The new one looks like the DeWalt miter saw stand.

                      I've seen the weights on them, I think the new one was about 8 lbs heavier. The box on the old one reads 98 lbs, probably about 90 of that is the tool! See any particular features that would make the new one more desirable, seeing as you have actually used the old one for a couple of years? Have a mini review you might want to give on the 'old' one we all just bought? Any and all insights appreciated!

                        I just have it dedicated to one tool. It works out great in my garage shop and for moving aroung the house. A couple of times I had to take it on the road and had to remove the saw to get it in my Suburban because of the weight (maybe I'm just weak).

                          I have the old MSUV dedicated to my miter saw. I like the new MSUV. It has removable mounting brackets that lock in place with a lever. If you can get an extra set of brackets, you can have two tools utilizing the stand.

                            Called my local HD this AM in Manchester NH and the sku didn't come up in her system anymore.


                            I have this old version... love it. Have my 12" Dewalt MS on it.

                            $49 is a steal... much like that aluminum compressor...

                            can't seem to get these deals... not acting fast enough.
