Summary: worth every penny
Comment: If your saw never leaves your shop, this is ideal. Built well and easy to assemble, I am very happy with this purchase. THe stand is very portable and folds down easily.

Summary: Perfect companion to the Bosch 5412L
Comment: As with most things, you get what you pay for. After quite a bit of investigation, I settled on the 2875XL. I'd been looking for a stand for my new Bosch 5412L saw and had all but given up (thinking to build my own) when I found this. At $329, it's definitely not cheap. But then again, neither is the saw and I didn't want to shortchange myself on any usability in the shop by cheaping out on the stand.
So far, it's been awesome. It is very solid and with the casters locked, it doesn't move at all. Sure, you won't go lugging this setup to a jobsite but rolling it out of the basement and into the garage is easy. It was kind of a pain to put together, as the directions are pretty bad. In spite of this, beginning to end, including time to measure and drill the holes to bolt the saw to the top, was about two hours.
Someone else pointed out that it could be kind of topheavy, which is true, though that's true of a lot of stands. One little added benefit that I hadn't even considered was all of the space underneath. It's a great place to stash all of those bulky tool cases. When I'm working out in the garage, I can just roll this stand out there and everything (including my drills, router, circular saw etc) is right there where I need it.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to my tools. I would have no reservations about recommending this to any one in need of a good, stable miter saw stand.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: The Stand arrived with the box slightly torn but all pieces were there. The directions were easy to follow. This stand was built more solid then I had expected. I have a dewalt sliding witer saw and was concerned about stablity. But this stand is extremly stable, rolls easy and the side supports adjust perfectly to the saw table. This is one great stand.

Summary: Solid stand - could use a few improvements
Comment: This review refers to the older version of the 2875XL that required an accessory bracket for certain larger saws.
I use this stand with a Makita LS1013 and to date have been happy with its overall performance. Some positive aspects:
The stand is well made with reasonably heavy guage tubular steel legs and stamped steel shelves.
The wing support mechanisms work smoothly and are easy to lock and unlock.
The casters also work well and lock solidy when the brake is applied.
The fence is heavy, solid and works simply.
Some negatives:
The stand is relatively narrow and gives the impression of being somewhat unstable. With the added weight of a large saw it is top-heavy and might be prone to tip over when moved should one of the wheels catch on anything. Caution in moving the stand and/or placement of some weight on the lower shelf would presumably reduce this tendancy.
Alignment of shelf brackets and some of the cross braces on the wings was off. The shelf bracket appeared to have been welded too close to the center of the leg causing some challenges during assembly. The cross braces on the wings were not parallel to the horizontal plane of the wings such that if you placed a straight-edge across them some would be higher or lower than others. The variances were not huge but again made for some challenges during set-up.
Predrilled holes in the legs to facilitate creation of a cabinet under the saw shelf (similar to what is available on some of the bench/worktable legs sold by some of the woodworking chains) would have been a plus.
Some thoughts on assembly:
The instructions provided really aren't adequate for this stand. However, these may have been improved on the new version that is currently available.
Alignment of the saw is challenging as you have as many as 10 points of adjustment - the four corners of the saw platform, the two angle adjustments on the wings and the bolts holding the saw to the saw platform for saws that, like the Makita, have rubber feet that can be compressed. Ideally you should adjust all of these at one time to ensure that everything is level. However this is pretty difficult to accomplish working alone.
The best approach to aligning the saw platform was provided by another reviewer of this stand - use clamps in a spreader configuration to slowly jack the saw platform up to the appropriate height. This method is not suggested in the instructions.
A long (60" or more) straightedge is also critical to success.
Placement of the tape measure is intended to be done using two provided pieces of wire. Unfortunately these are too large for the holes in which they are supposed to be inserted. I used small paper clips as an alternative.

Summary: I should have bought it sooner
Comment: I purchased the 2875XL miter Saw Stand and I have to say it is great. After reading the reviews on Rousseau products I decided that I would be happy with the products but that the installation might be dificult. Well I did not find the istallation dificult at all. I found the installation instructions to be basic but sufficiant it took about 45 minutes to set up and then about 15 minutes to adjust it....Talk about a space saver. The extension tables fold down and when I am done with it I can roll it away... The stops and tape measures are dead on. The only thing is for less than about 25" the tape measure does not work, you have to mark your board... I was a little hesitant about the price but I have learned that you usually get what you pay for and after a few days you forget about the price. I am buying another one for my other shop. I definatly recomend it.
