That looks almost exactly like the KOBALT ( Lowes ) one I bought....beware, I found that the adjustment bolts that hold the saw mounts to the twin tubes of the stand didn't hold adjustment and almost lost a $600 saw because of it. I had to weld nuts in place and replace the bolts. I also filled in the voids in the plastic that the bolts push against. Finally, I decided that I didn't trust the cam mechanism and I made a pair of brackets that will never break. Although now I have to loosen a pair of bolts to take the new brackets off in order to remove the saw fron the stand, I no longer worry about it falling off. Contact me if you need pictures of what I did. Hope you have better luck with yours.

I have the one from HD (Rigid?), not the greatest but good enough for me. Folds and rolls real easy.
Search Results for miter saw stand at The Home Depot
Is it the Black Powertec ? Or mebe the Blue Powertec ?
I definitely need a Folding version with Wheels.

The 12 inch wheels are great !
Is your saw a 10", 12", 14" ? Is it heavy ?
I have a 12" stashed away, NIB. But my immediate purchase is for a 10" Freud.
I think the Ridgid you have is overkill for me.
I should take a closer look at the Home Depot offerrings. I have a 10% off coupon.

If yours is this one, I don't think they are the same.
The Hercules supports 550 lbs, and has some aluminum.
The Kobaltsupports 400 lbs, and is all steel.
But they sure do look similar.

Considering I have a 10% off HD coupon, that Rigid may be worth it for me.
Even though the Reviews on the Hercules are quite good, the few bad reviews are sobering.
AND .... my shed is in the Back Yard over un-even terrain. The 12" wheels would make a difference. I'm recovering from Rotator Cuff Surgery from trying to stop Rolling Shelves from toppling over !
PLUS ... the Ridgid could handle my 12 " Saw as well, when I need a larger blade.
I'm sold on the Ridgid.

@CaseHardened actually I think mine is not that exact one, the wheels on mine are a little smaller.
Not a great picture (and I really need to clean it up a bit) but my 10" saw sits nicely on it and it's really easy to move around.

The smaller wheels are fine for you, rolling about on concrete.
For me, they would be a huge issue.
Still, you surely pointed me in the direction - the newer Ridgid with 12" wheels should fit the bill !

Cool, good luck with it. Mine if I am transporting any distance on the property it just goes into the cart on the back of the tractor... but more often I'll cut all my lumber on the driveway and then move the cut lumber that way.
If you need six, it's certainly a Good Deal from a worthy company.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry.
Mine is a simple one with William's peep. Took this cocky kid out with his ar one time. He just got his aimpoint sighted in the day before. He challenged me to a standing shooting contest at 100 yards at a 4" steel target.
I rang it every time with my fudd gun. He only hit the stand and broke the target with his 10th shot.
He doesn't shoot with me anymore.
Without matching up model numbers, I would say that is the one I have. It has a lot of really nice features like the extending supports on both ends, the compact folded size, and the screw adjusted leveling legs which is why I bought it, but only later did I realize that crucial parts were plastic or were designed poorly. My saw is heavy. It's a 14" double bevel radial model. Still, I don't think I will ever come close to challenging the weight rating of the stand. With my modifications, I'm quite happy with the stand now, but that one time while in the middle of a cut and the saw is starting to fall backwards off the stand, I clearly was not. I'm pretty sure half the county heard me mother-f'ing Lowes and the Chinese shit that I bought there. I was as mad at myself for buying it as anything else, but it was the first time I had ever bought such an item, and I didn't know what to look for. I'm sure if I had to buy another one today, I would evaluate their construction differently. Live and learn.

Decided to upgrade my Escort 9500ix....
If you know anything about detectors you know what this is. If you think this is the &30 Walmart special think again. The nice thing is the Autolearn technology that blocks out false alerts. I upgraded to this one because of the alert arrows and because this one has technology to filter out the false alerts from vehicle collision and blind spot sensors. I added in the camera because I wanted one and this makes the install so clean. It shares the same mount and power cord.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Sawzall last Saturday.

Can’t find 9, 40, 38, 357 so I am backfilling with some 20g 3” 1oz tungsten Hevi-Shot #2 shot. Think I will dive back in for some 308Win.

Thanks. That was facing the backyard.
This is facing down the driveway into the valley.
You should see what the view out the front window is going to look like.
We really wanted to be moving in by now, but corona has really screwed our timeline. Not to mention what the increase in lumber cost has done to our budget.

Oh God, you dont want that place. You can actually see the neighbor's house; you should deed the property to me immediately.
Nice backstops!
So when’s the range being built? Better yet, when’s the monthly (or weekly) forum member get-together after the range is constructed?
