If you store the stand in the folded, upright, hand truck position with a 12 inch sliding miter saw attached, is it stable or will it tip over?

It is stable but it is not be my first choice for long term storage of the saw. I do not store my saw hanging on the stand in an upright position. It just makes me uncomfortable that someone might knock it over and the saw is to expensive for me to risk the damage potential but the stand is stable if you choose to store the saw in the upright position. It is a nice solid stand. Be aware that with the weight of the saw, you need to provide upward assistance when elevating the platform. The pistons are not powerful enough to move the table upward by their own pressure. They are there to assist you in raising the table.

I store my stand with a 10 inch sliding miter, folded, and it is very stable.

It is very stable. In fact, that is how I store mine and I have kids running in and out if the garage around it.

I have a Dewalt 12" miter saw on the stand, non sliding version. It is heavy, and it is stable on a level floor when in the "hand truck" folded position for storage. In my opinion, it would also be stable with the sliding saw. That saw is heavier, but not taller. Taller would move it away from the center of gravity in the upright position. I hope this helps.

I have a 12" slider mounted to mine. No mods were needed to mount the saw. It bolted right on.I cannot speak to whether a 12" RIGID will fit or not but it should fit. Yes; you can leave the saw attached with the legs folded.

It may?? I am using my stand with a Hitachi 10" miter saw but it is not sliding.. It has good balance and I have not had any issues with it yet.I did have to mount a piece of plywood on the stand and the saw to the plywood but other than that it works well. Centering the saw on the stand will probably be the key with a sliding set up.

Yes it can be folded up and stored upright with the saw mounted on it. That is how I store my stand and saw all the time.

Well you've already received 2 responses but for what it's worth I did receive a material clamp with my saw. Similar in design & function as the one I use on my Porter Cable 12". As for any slop or undesirable movement when fully extended I can say that I haven't experienced any problems. If you don't have a bench top to place your saw, I would highly recommend the Dewalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand. Easy to set up, you can set up either side for material support or positive stop if you plan on cutting material the same length over & over again. It is absolutely solid & I've been impressed with the design. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

This is a very stable ladder. I would not be afraid of it tipping at all. Follow all directions enclosed for safety and watch the DVD. I would highly recommend it ! Hope this helps you out.

It is pretty stable, but will move during hand sawing if you use too much force.

I mounted a 12" dual bevel sliding compound miter saw on the stand it fits like it was made for it. Very sturdy and doesn't wobble at all.

I have the 12 inch ridgid sliding miter saw and it fits most any saw you want you can store it with the saw on it but I need space so I take mine off and stand it up in the corner. Although if I were to do it over again I'd probably get the dewalt and mount a surge protector on it it's smaller and more compact which is what I'm looking for but otherwise I love the saw stand

It might not be stable enough. You lose some length by putting it an angle rather verticle straight up. Osha requires an extra 3 feet above the rest point on top. 12 ft cealing might just be too tall for it. In a pinch you could getaway with it not for regular use like that.

no it will tip over, it screws into the base w a cheap plastic attachment. . I had a metal stand made at a local metal/welding shop and bolted it to concrete. That works great.

Yes!!!! If i was you get the stand its nice!! It will support it just fine. No trouble at all.

Stand itself when folded or collapsed is no more than 3". Sounds like you're talking about the saw though!

The Stand may tip over, but it won't be due to the lazy susan. I have a 44 inch monitor/TV sitting on one of the two which I purchased, and it works fine. Just ensure the load is centered, and placed where it cannot be bumped by people passing by.

Don, I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece. Dave

I have done pull ups and have not tipped over. This of course is going to be predicated by proper assembly. One side has the cross bar bolt holes set further back. I'm sure if you assembled it backwards and tried to pull up on it then yes it would be more unstable.

I haven't had trouble with it falling over. It is easy to get tools in and out of. Just don't put it on your back with out zipping it up. You'll have a yard sale.
