You better believe it but I ended up buying the exact same setup as you. I could not believe it when I saw your video. We picked up the same miter saw and the same stand! This is crazy
Hopefully I'll be getting this saw with an Evolution stand for Christmas. This saw seems incredibly inexpensive compared to the other ones with all the features it has. Even the Ryobi 10 inch is only a single bevel, and still $40 more. As long as this will cut all the dimensional lumber required for building a deck, and raised flower beds I should be fine. It'll need to cut 2x4, 2x6, 4x4, and 5/4x6 lumber. Not sure why they call them 5/4 when it's an improper fraction. Shouldn't it be 1 1/4? Am I missing something? LOL. Anyways, cheers, and thank you!
i prefer the ridgid miter stand . bigger wheel . easy to setup with great extensions. easy to store vertically. very mobile. if your a contractor i’d go with the bosch rolling miter saw stand .
That stand should store in a vertical position too. For storage...on the wheel side, pull the support out, rotate it 90° and then put it back in and lock it down. Make sure it's extended to give better support when you stand it up. Then slide your saw on the rails to butt up against the side of the support. Then stand it up and everything will rest on the two wheels and end of the support, which will now be vertical with the floor on one side...and the saw also being supported by the other.
@Rustic Handyman I appreciate it! I wanted to stick with a 10" rather than 12" because they're lighter and easier for an old guy like me to move around.
@@russellwayne1524 Well, according to the included manual, two tools are not supplied. An "M5 wrench" and "M4 Hex Wrench". Having a beast of a time trying to locate the "M5 wrench". Be grateful if you can provide a source. Been searching the Internet and did find a "mini" M5 wrench - but that's about all. Thank you.
If I remember correctly, this is just 5mm and 4 mm metric hex wrenches. You can find these is a set at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. Shouldn't be too expensive to buy them in a set. T-handle hex wrenches are even nicer for this application, but either type will do.
@@therustichandyman Want to acknowledge and thank you for creating, staging and publishing this video. Found it extremely helpful, well presented, clear and to the point. Also, called Skil Customer Service earlier today concerning the not supplied "M5 Wrench". Turms out it's a tiny thing used to loosen and tighten the fence hex head screws. No biggie. Appreciate also all caring enough to comment.
Yeh, sorry about the wind. I was saying “the real reason I bought this saw and stand together is this”. It’s so nice to have a collapsible stand for it.
Great set up, i got a metabo 10" miter saw and thanks to you I'll order the small 77" miter stand just like yours

Thanks so much for your help

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try that.
I want this setup !
It’s been working well for me.
@@therustichandyman how long have u been running this set up. And. It seems like it handles really well
@@majorpyrotechniks_ probably about 2 years.
Thank you for this Helpful video 👍
I'm sorry I hope you see this and help me PLEASE I can't get it to the upright position after the handle is inserted can you please show me
Like you can’t get the saw to open up?
Great video! Will the saw cross cut a 4"x4" in one pass? Thanks!!
Yes it can.
@Rustic Handyman I appreciate it! I wanted to stick with a 10" rather than 12" because they're lighter and easier for an old guy like me to move around.
Will the 10 inch miter cut a 4x4 in a single pass at 90°.?
Yes it will
I can't get the blade to raise up....
There is a little pin towards the back that has to be pulled out to allow the saw to lift up.
Just received this same saw from Amazon and unable to locate the required "M5 Wrench". Are you able to suggest a source? Thank you.
It’s not in the back of the motor?

At 7:52 the wind totally blew out what you were saying 🤔

I cant raise the blade of mine
To raise the saw, there is a black pin that you need to pull to release it. The pin is behind the blade area.
How’s the saw treating you? Just ordered one.
I really like it so far. No complaints.
