I have this. Got it for $299 in April of 2022. While decent, no way I'd be happy at full price. If you have a sliding saw, it is not going to fit without some overlap. I am using a 12" sliding and you can't store up against a wall. Also, because the saw is heavy, it doesn't rotate freely and I have to really muscle it to get it to lock into place. Also, if you plan on using a dust hood (I use the Rousseau collapsible and it doesn't work well with the stand leaving several gaps. Overall, I'm happy to have it, but I want everyone to understand what you are getting depending on your saw.

Great deal if you can go to Menards to get it.

Price match from Home Depot typically should include shipping charges, so the deal you got should not be expected to be replicable by others.
Our Price Match Guarantee includes the price of the item(s) plus shipping cost.

How did you get a price match if you don't live near Menards? I'm in California and they are telling me I can't price match to Menards.

That's usually up to whoever is offering the price match, but I have had similar experiences with various places.
If a retailer isn't local (mernards, academy, b&h, etc) they won't bother matching.

Good feedback. Curious what you mean by it won't fit without an overlap, can you share a picture? I don't have a sliding saw myself. Where mine will sit for storage I have plenty of depth to work with too luckily so I'm ok with it not going against the wall fully.

I just have the Oneida dust deputy, how do you like your dust hood?

It took 30 minutes, but I was able to get it price matched with Lowes online chat with free shipping. I started Home Depot's chat at the same time but they took forever so I never got an answer by the time I completed the sale with Lowes.

Also worth noting that I'm in California, nowhere near a Menards, and shipping on this item through them would've been 80 bucks. Took some doing, but ended up with a slickdeal and a miter stand that seems like it'll solve my storage problems in a small workshop.

I don't have a pic myself and honestly don't feel like digging it out with the snow and ice over in the garage. Here is a pic from an amazon review. You can see the slide stick out on the front. If you turn it sideways as far as you can to get some room to store along a wall, you will still stick out and overlap the side support pieces. When this happens, it means you have to swing the saw from the bottom before it is spun around to get the saw to move up. If you try to store with the back and the sliding arm sticks out in the room, now it is hard to pull away from the wall because the wheels are only on one side. While it can be done and granted, I have a big saw with a Dewalt 780, I just want people to know the limitations. As for the dust hood, I like it but dust management on a miter saw is hard. The Dewalt dust collector is difficult and non standard fittings. In order to hook up to my big dust collector the hood was the best option.

Good luck with your search and hope it works for you.

I'm not understanding the benefit of this one. It takes up way more space in storage position than a normal folding miter saw stand and doesn't appear to offer any other advantages.

What am I missing about this.
