We had a chance to see this stand in person at the recent STAFDA trade show and what makes a lot of sense here is the adjustable brackets which can accommodate a number of different miter saw brands. It would also be an ideal platform to custom build mounts for other tools and work surfaces, at least that was our first thought anyway. The stands DWX726 ($199, Home Depot) are available now online. They are also sold with the new DeWalt 12" Miter Saws DWS780 which we reviewed a few months back. Read the full DeWalt stand press release below.
TOWSON, Md. – Today, DEWALT announces the launch of its new Rolling Miter Saw/Planer Stand (DWX726), which allows for easy jobsite mobility thanks to its wide rubber wheels and fold-up design. The DWX726 is designed for a variety of contractors including cabinetmakers, trim carpenters, framers, installers and many other professionals who are tasked with using a miter saw or portable thickness planer on the jobsite.
“We created this stand to address the need for contractors to move quickly and efficiently on the jobsite and in the shop,” said Rafe Bennett, director of product marketing, DEWALT. “Along with convenience, our new Rolling Miter Saw/Planer Stand is compact, durable and easily adjustable, making it ideal for all contractors tasked with difficult woodworking jobs and projects.”
With three-position pneumatically assisted raising and lowering, the DWX726 is easy to assemble to minimize downtime. The unit is also durable with a tubular steel construction that allows for 300 pounds of maximum weight capacity. The mounting rails are easily adjustable, and they can adapt to nearly any miter saw or portable thickness planer on the market. Additionally, the stand offers wide adjustable infeed and outfeed roller work supports, which provide up to eight feet of material support.
Weighing a manageable 67 pounds, the stand is 98-inches long and 32.5 inches wide when it is unfolded. To save space, the unit folds vertically and measures only 59.5 inches by 17 inches.
The DWX726 joins DEWALT’s existing line of work stands, which were released earlier this year. The current line-up includes the Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand (DWX723), the Compact Miter Saw Stand (DWX724), the Heavy Duty Work Stand (DWX725) and the Heavy Duty Work Stand with Miter Saw Mounting Brackets (DWX725B).
The Rolling Miter Saw/Planer Stand sells for approximately $199 and is available now at The Home Depot. The stand will come with a three-year limited warranty, one-year free service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.
