Hey, folks,

Been meaning to get one of these for ages. Walked into the despot last weekend, now that the basement project has started in earnest, and saw the $99 sale. When I did Joseph's basement room, I had the SCMS on the floor. What a hassle that was! No more of that! ;)

That's two year old James, stepping in to give a sense of scale...;)

Life gets better all the time! ;)

Thanks,

I finally paid attention to everyone saying they loved these things and got one. I love it. I've gotten my monies worth out of it in mobility, small footprint storage, etc. many times over.
 
I'd get me one of them too. But wife and I are too old. ;)
BTW, nice saw stand in the background. :)

Bill, I'm another happy owner of one of those stands, and I don't even have a SCMS. (And my little miter saw hasn't been used in over a year.) I use the Ridgid stand for my planer, my mortiser, and extra work space in the driveway.

Congrats on the new tool/toy/thingamabob. :thumb:
 
A stand for the screamin' mimi, err...I mean SCMC, is a must.;)

I have a love/hate relationship with the SCMS. I use it almost entirely for crosscutting, unless something is too wide (mine will handle 12", I have the older 708) which is most all of the crosscutting I do.

It is without a doubt, one of the loudest machines in my shop, I'm sure the neighbors are glad when that noise box shuts down in the evening on the weekends when I'm using it.:rolleyes:

The only other machine I have that is noisier is a DW735 benchtop planer, easily the noisiest machine in my shop, but the SCMS comes in a close second.

I use the Dewalt stand. While it is about twice what you paid for your ridgid stand, it sets up in 2 minutes. The wheels would be a plus, that I admit, but I just unclip my SCMS from the stand and store it on the shelf. 2 minutes to setup, 2 minutes to tear down. Since yours probably stays on the stand, you can probably shave a minutes off that time...:D
