eddie1976 Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I just got a 12" Kobalt sliding miter saw and need a stand. Found a Ryobi for $60 at HD. Got it home, but found out that Ryobi doesn't recommend using it with anything bigger than 10" sliding miter. I don't want to spend alot of $ on a stand, any recommendations?

kruton Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 My Home Depot has the Ridgid stand for 149 right now. It was 99 on black friday. May drop down again if you are willing to wait. It's still a pretty good stand at 149 in my opinion.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 @eddie1976 would building your own stand work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I bought the Delta stand for $149, the Ridgid was $199 at the time and they look almost the same. I have a Bosch 12 inch GCM12SD on the Delta and it works fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kato Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'd be curious to know why the Ryobi isn't able to hold a 12" saw. It's rated for 400 pounds (according to their site), a 12" miter saw and the wood you're cutting isn't going to weight that much. I have a Ryobi stand and it seems pretty beefy, kinda curious as to why they'd say it couldn't hold a 12"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have been reading and learning (more than I ever wanted to) about this subject it appears the issue is related to stability rather than total weight. I guess the slider coming forward or back off the stand might make it unstable and have it tilt forward or back, causing it to fall. I don't know how true that is, but many of the stands aren't recommended for 12" sliding saws. If you want one, you need to upgrade to a bigger one, for alot more money. The one I bought is $60, but the ones that are recommended for 12" sliders are about $150. I will try to use the one I have and see how it feels. If it doesn't feel steady or stable, I will take it back and cough up the extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
