Ryobi Stationary Miter Saw Stand w/ Tool-Less Height Adjustment Expired

FYI, I bought the stand a few years ago and it has been pretty good. The adjustable stays tend to drop unless you tighten them up good. I also put wheels on it. Buy a threaded rod from Home Depot, one pair of a u threaded bracket, a few nylon lock nuts, and a couple large dolly wheels from Harbor Freight. Drill holes for the u bracket on one side and surface mount the threaded rod. Put the wheels on with a nylon lock nut on either side. All of this cost under $20 at the time - prices may have gone up - and it's worked out well for me. I do recommend buying the largest wheels you can get for going up and down stairs. If you plan on transporting it a lot, it's not the best solution, but for occasional and fairly direct wheeling, it works well.

The threaded rod is already the correct length from Home Depot so no need to cut. The 2 things I would have done differently are i) keep the u bracket parallel to the threads (will minimize slipping) as opposed to what I did which is keep it parallel to the machined cut of the stand and ii) get the biggest wheels you can to clear stairs and to keep the end from bumping on the stairs. I have lugged it up and down stairs with relative ease. You can't see the nut on the outside of the wheel, but it's just another nut. A nylon locknut is best. And the metal used where it is mounted is quite strong so I haven't had any issues with it flexing. You'll need a decent drillbit to get through the metal. I have a very heavy Hitachi 12" slider on it.

To "fold" it for wheeling, just hold on to the stand on the wheeled side with one hand and use your other hand to fold the legs in on that same side, then bring it to the ground. The other legs remain up and I haven't had an issue with them caving.

Isn't that 11 extra pounds?
