DEWALT DW723 Miter Saw Stand

I recently purchased the DW723 Miter Saw Stand in anticipation of installing some new base moulding in my home. After completing my most recent job, I can't believe I did not purchase this stand with my miter saw two years ago. Matter of fact, you shouldn't buy a miter saw unless you will also buy this stand. Here are the benefits:

You work at a comfortable height. No stooping over and using phone books as a material rest if you're placing the saw on a floor or concrete pad. I did several crown jobs "on the ground", never again!

The stand is light weight, compact, and the saw easily attaches and detaches from the stand for storage or transport.

The material rests support full length trim and are fully adjustable with respect to height. This function alone is like having a second set of hands when dealing with 16-foot lengths of trim.

The stand rail has enough width and length to rest things like a tape measure, pencils, framing square, and clamps. This is a bonus since all of your measuring, marking, and stabilizing tools are easily at hand.

I read some concerns about the stand's wing-nuts and adjustment knobs being made from plastic. While I would agree that aluminum would have been a better choice since these are high stress components, I think the plastic should prove sufficiently durable for the DIY person.

Overall, this stand is really a must have if you are DIY person.

I purchased this stand to use with my DW715 miter saw, and love it. I am sure there are units out there that are heavier built, but this has done everything I have needed it to do, it is very lightweight for the features it has, and it is very easy to break down for transport. I purchased it from Amazon, and received it within three days. Overall, I really don't have anything bad to say about it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-built miter saw stand.

This product was received as described by the seller. I used it several times and I'm pleased with my purchase.

Sturdy, dependable and convenient all at a realistic price. I've been using the stand with my DeWalt mitre saw to construct a deck at my home. It's alarge deck wrapping around two sides of my house; 12' wide and totalling 48' in length. Just to make thing as difficult as possible for myself, I am using PVC decking (Treks Escape) in 16' and 20' lengths cut on the diagonal. It hasn't been boring! The biggist assist I've received has been from this stand. PVC decking has many pluses and two particular minuses: it's hard to cut and it sags extremely. As a result, the boards have to be supported during cutting - this stand has been a lifesaver! I could not have done this job solo without this saw stand but have had no problems with it.

The stand is sturdy, lightweight and fold up nicely.

For my needs in a home woodshop, this stand is great! The stand came free with the 12" sliding compound miter saw on Amazon.com, so that was a great deal. It is solid and it's nice that the work supports are so easy to adjust. I agree with some of the other reviewers that this isn't the miter saw stand for a contractor/heavy use. I don't have any other miter saw stand to compare it to. For the money I spent on it (nothing!), I LOVE IT!
