    thanks alot for the heads up Herb I really wanted one of these
    These deals are so often just local, I'm glad everybody was able to benefit from this one!

      Would a Bt3100 fit on one of these new models, I need to make my garage my new shop and can't nearly fit all I have in the space I have.

        Just measured MSUV for you. East -West you can slide these apart to an easy 36". North-South 16.5 ".

          Of course, nothing would prevent you from mounting the BT on a piece of plywood, and then the plywood to the mount brackets if you needed to exceed the measurements I gave .

            UM, HOW TALL are you? I believe that would be a VERY high table saw!

                That's what I'm doing to mount a Dewalt planer to mine.

                  This is $177 (not $99), but I use the Bosch TS2000 stand and am *extremely* happy. It is very stable and easy to maneuver.

                  The combination of a BT3100 on the Bosch and a miter saw on the older-style MSUV takes less garage floorspace than a conventionally mounted BT3100 by itself.

                  I also just picked-up one of the new MSUV's for my planer. You guys are "saving" me soooo much money...

                    Could you compare the two MSUV's? I am wondering if one is easier to handle then the other (loading, unloading, steps, moving, etc.).

                      Just picked one up with a 10% coupon. I already had the Dewalt, but this one looks great. I looked at the original MS-UV when I bought the Dewalt but I needed a stand that allowed easy removal of the saw. Thanks!

                        I have the Delta for my miter saw but I just picked up one to use with my Carvewright machines. The MSUV appears to give a lot more flexibility for use than the Delta.

                          How much does this thing weigh without a saw mounted? Can it be easily loaded into the back of a pickup?

                            Chris B. is right

                            If floor space is a consideration, then using multiple MSUV for various other power tools might be the way to go. You could always roll them outside your shop for use. Now there is the issue of height for some of these tools other than a miter saw. Why not make a step platform out of scrap wood to stand on?

                            A basic difference- and improvement over the earlier model is that those orange sliding mounts are REMOVABLE. So this creates the possibility-if extra mounts are not overly expensive- of having several power tools - each on its own set of orange mounts stacked in a storage bin/shelf waiting to be clicked into position for use. In other words, depending on price and convienance, you could have several MSUV with power tools mounted on them, or one MSUV, and several power tools mounted on extra click on orange bracket sets, each ready to be clicked onto the one MSUV and rolled outside for use.

                              I have the older version with a SCMS mounted on it and my daughter just bought me the new version for my birthday. I like the older one but I will find a use for the new one. At $99 I may pick up another one after reading about some of the other tools some of you are mounting on them.

                                Richard,

                                I was curious about the weight myself. I looked on the Home Depot and Ridgid websites and one has it as 94lbs and the other at 101lbs.

                                I have a couple of steps to get out of my basement and to me, that seems like it wouldn't be much fun getting that thing in and out even if it was unloaded.

                                This seems like a very good deal, but for me I'll probably have to go with something a little lighter maybe this one from Sears if I can get it for under $100 and I can find out how much it weighs.

                                http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10...4&gobutton.y=8

                                Just something to think about for anybody who has steps and/or will be loading/unloading this a lot without a ramp into the back of a pickup truck.

                                So don't worry about using those power tools in the rain with a frayed cord!
