Makita mitre saw stands anyone got one ?

[joiner1970]

I have a Metabo stand for my Makita 1013 but spotted this the other day and thought it was a better idea mobility wise has anyone got one of these. Is it too heavy to say lift out of the back of a van with the saw still fixed to it. If you own one what do you think of it ?

I looked at the reviews the other day on Amazon. It looks like they have issues with packaging it when shipped. Many people complained of bent parts, and missing bolts.

Yeah I saw those but was hoping that's just a problem your side of the pond with Makita USA.
