[Shop-talk] Mitre Saws

[Ronnie Day]

The newer model of the MSUV is a bit smaller and looks quite a bit lighter
than the one we have. As Doug points out, it can be used with brands other
than Ridgid. Unless you're always going to use the saw in the same place,
some sort of portable stand is a practical necessity. The cart style greatly
helps moving the saw around.

All this said, the last time I was at our local HD I remember seeing a
package deal on (I think) a DeWalt 10 inch slider that included a (non-roll
around) portable stand. Worth checking out maybe?

FWIW,
Ron
