DEWALT Miter Saw Stand, Compact, 40" Beam Extends, Holds up to 500 lbs (DWX724)

I had read that the older model of this stand wasn't compatible with all miter saws, specifically the Makita LS1013 slider that I own. Apparently the supplied mounting brackets weren't long enough for some saws with a larger footprint. Well Dewalt remedied that mistake with their newer miter saw stands, probably in an attempt to cater to more buyers and not only individuals who own certain saws.Let me tell you I am grateful that they did because it is an excellent stand and it stood out from the rest. I explored several different brands of miter saw stands before settling on this one and I definitely made the right choice. This stand is compact and lightweight but well constructed and sturdy at the same time, even supporting a heavy saw like mine. Like other have said this stand is light but not as light as you may think. I am sure Dewalt made it as light as they could without sacrificing structural integrity and stability. With that being said it still sets up and breaks down easily and is easy to transport to and from your cutting spot. The engineers came up with a nice balance of strength/durability and portability/weight with this model. Before buying this stand I was using two beat up plastic saw horses and a piece of plywood screwed to the bottom of the saw, which made transportation of the saw a two man operation. Now the saw is much easier to handle and it clicks right on to the deck of the stand nicely.Now on to function and operation of the stand. Set up out of the box was fast and only requires an adjustable or open end wrench. After that all adjustments and operations of the stand can be done by hand. All of the knobs are well made and tighten up nicely by hand, but are probably not immune to stripping so be careful. The extension wings are sturdy and tighten up nice and level. I had set the height of the end supports close to the saw and I figured that extended they would dip slightly, but I was pleasantly surprised. Totally extended they maintained a nice even and level cutting surface and they clamp up rock solid. I was also surprised at the length and weight of stock it could support without wanting to tip to one side, although the overall weight of my saw is probably adding to it's stability. I would always have a roller handy for cutting really long stock, or flimsy trim like Azek. I love having the flip up stops on each support which come in handy when you need to make several identical cuts like balusters or fence pickets.Overall the quick and easy setup and breakdown of this stand are the main reasons I bought it. That including the high quality and relatively lightweight construction, and it's compact design make this stand a great addition to your miter saw. This stand doesn't need wheels, takes up little space when broken down, and it can double as a high quality saw horse (although watch those deep blades). In the near future I am definitely investing in one or two DEWALT DWX725 Heavy Duty Work Stands to use on my job sites and in my shop/garage. In conclusion this and other Dewalt stands are well made, practical, and are worth every penny. Chuck your current setup and grab this stand and you won't regret it.

The DEWALT DWX724 is a game-changer! Its compact design and 40" extendable beam make it versatile, while the 500-lb capacity ensures stability. Easy to set up and transport—ideal for pros and DIYers. Highly recommend!

So much better than other stands I've used. I was reluctant to get this because I like the wheels on many others. I decided to trust in the Dewalt brand, always providing good tools, and went with this one. So glad I did. The support arms move freely and lock in place fast and securely. There is almost no droop in the arms, unlike my previous stand. The stops and supports on both ends are very adjustable, up/down and side to side. Basic adjustments are fast with the included fast access knobs, allowing you to work quickly. It is a bulky stand to carry, but not that heavy. Construction is rock solid, as expected. There is an alignment tab on the front to allow you to position your saw in the same place everytime and keep it from creeping, but I don't always use it. It is a nice feature, but my saw hasn't moved at all when locked down on this. There are cheaper stands, but this is well worth the extra cost. My old stand that did the job, sort of, seems like junk now that this has replaced it. Did I mention that the arms don't droop when they're extended? Awesome.

I’m astonished at the number of reviews that give this well designed saw stand 4 or less stars because of something that has little or nothing to do with the actual stand! Some people ordered the wrong stand. Some people are weaklings. The delivery company delivered to a wrong address, and others complained about the unit rusting when in their photo you can clearly see it was slammed into something and bent the metal causing the paint to chip off. How about the dewalt saw stand? Well my stand seems to defy gravity because it isn’t that heavy. My stand came to my house and my stand is sturdy and since I mounted my saw on a piece of birch plywood, it in turn is bolted to the side clamps and fits just fine. In fact I’ll bet if you did the same, your saw would fit too. I think this is a great stand with easy and fast take down legs and quick smooth extensions that slide in and lock securely with no effort. Here’s a hint to make things easier when you use it...squeeze the handles and remove your saw which should be mounted to plywood by now and take it off before you try to turn it upside down and carry it. It only takes about 5 seconds to reattach. I give this item five stars.

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and absolutely love it. It’s nicely portable and compact, so it is easy to tuck away in my utility room. When I need it again, bing bang boom, and I’m ready to use my miter saw! I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn’t have a dedicated workspace or bench. It makes work so much easier having the extension arms and a nice stable surface to use. I bought my saw first and decided to get this afterward when I was getting annoyed with having my materials dangle off to the sides. Considering I’m remodeling a whole house, it was silly of me not to get the stand with the saw and make any part of this frustrating project, easier. It was simple to hook up the connection clamp bases to my saw, I’m using the Dewalt DWS715. I am a 5’1 female, and I can easily attach and detach my miter saw as long as I move the blade to the 45° angle position. If I keep it in the 90° my arms won’t reach the handles well enough to take it off the stand and safely carry the saw away. It is very stable, I haven’t had any issues with the legs or extension arms locking/unlocking. It seems like it *should* hold up for a long time, like with all other tools, as long as you care for it properly!
