Any harm in storing scms on collapsable miter saw stand?

[ryan.s]

Do you guys think storing a scms on a collapsable stand like the MSUV in the folded up position will put any unnecssary stress on the saw or knock it out of alignment?

Thanks!

Unless it gets banged around, I don't see any problem with it. The other choice would be to dismount it and put it on a shelf each time. Probably greater chance of damage to the saw that way.

No, the MSUV was designed and built to do exactly that.

I know I know but something about the saw sitting on a vertical plane instead of a horizontal surface for an extended period of time seems like everything would be pushed down because of gravity.

I see your point. Over the years because of extended periods of standing in an upright position, gravity has caused my chest to be pushed down to the general area of my waist.

Just make sure the vents in the motor are not pointing down. All the 'lectricity in the commutator will fall out! ;-D

That's commonly called "furniture disease", that is where your chest drops down to your drawers. or just plain old dropsy. eezlock

Can't you put a battery on the floor to catch the 'lectricity?

Funny thing is it's a fact that you're actualy slightly taller in the morning after you get out of bed than you are at the end of the day due to the force of gravity.

Anyways the point i'm trying to make is i figure miter saws are designed in a way so that they rest on a horizontal surface and not a verticle surface.

I'm almost positive that the MSUV manual states that the saw must be stored (locked down) in the most left detent position. Don't have the manual in front of me but i"m 99.9% sure that that is where I read it.

Greg, you're absolutely right and I stand corrected. On page 11 of the Operator's Manual it states, "If the stand will not remain upright, store in the horizontal postition".

Thanks!

O.K. back to your question. I've had my 12" slider on a MSUV for over a year now w/o a problem. I just make sure everything is locked in place.

Thanks mike, that's exactly what I was looking for.
