Integrated support bar hardware holes make it easy to secure the saw to the stand for confident operation.



I used this stand with my saw while putting down about 700 sq ft of laminate flooring. Our house has lots of odd angles, so there were plenty of long angled rips of the flooring. The saw was rock solid on this stand, I never felt it move, tip, shake, etc. The bolts they give you to attach the saw to the stand are a bit ridiculous, I don't see most folks taking the time to fiddle with them. I used some cotterless hitch pins based on the suggestion of one of the other reviewers, but I don't feel like they really added anything. I might try longer ones or something else, but you probably don't really need anything, the weight of the saw and the design of the stand seem sufficient to keep things in place.

I'm a carpenter by trade and do everything from frame to finish. I've had experience with the Dewalt, Bosch, and Rigid portable table saws.

The dewalt I've used (dont remember the model number) had a small table and an archaic fence adjustment that required you to turn a knob that moved the fence by way of a gear on a track (hard to even explain). It was prone to the opposide side of the fence skipping a toothe and becoming misaligned. Plus it was slow to do.

The Bosch was a good saw, had a great stand, and overall was well thought out. It's only downfall is that it is bit light. I know, I know, light weight should be a plus right!? Well we all like our shop table saws because mass makes accuracy eaiser. I'm still (kinda) young so I don't mind a bit of extra weight if it means a better cut.

The Rigid saw is every bit as good as the Bosch, with a slightly larger table and consequently a bit more mass to boot. Also, at least from HD, it's cheaper too.

One thing I have not tried on the others but I know is a problem on the Rigid is, If you are making your own throat plate, the saw blade will not recess deep enough into the body. (this is hard for me to explain..) After you've cut your plate so that it fits in it's place on the saw, you want to bring the blade all the way down, turn on the saw, and let the blade cut the slot as you raise it back up... make sense? OK. You can't quite do that with a 10" blade on this saw. You'll have to put on an 8" blade, make the cut, then switch back or whathaveyou.

Oh, it's also annoying that none of the stands these saws come with have 10" or 12" wheels. The stock wheels won't roll over stairs. So unless you modify your stand you should use two people to safely carry it over finished stair treads. I have managed to awkwardly pull it up stairs without scraping the frame on them, but on some jobs it's far to risky.

Ultimately, if the Bosch and Rigid saws were the same price I'd still go Rigid (no pun intended). If the Bosch were less, then I'd really have to think about it...
