So why is this? It's not on www.dewalt.com.

If you look at the modelnumber it looks like a brandnew product from the new range of stands.

Looks like an attempt at Ridgid's Miter Saw Utility Vehicle (M-SUV)

I would say that it looks more like the Porter Cable, which also came out before the Rigid.  But I have never seen this either, so I am curious if it is actually coming out.

Agreed

Looks like it's official. It's up on Dewalt's site now. http://dewalt.com/tools/machinery-miter-saw-workstations-dwx726.aspx

I like it. I'm wondering if it can collapse and be stored with a DW718 still attached to it? Would it topple over?

[DEWALTDUDE]

I imagine it would be much the same as Porter Cables.

well it does not fit the dw735 planer, the planer is too wide.

Home depot has had this for over a month so far and if giving it away if you purchase the 718 saw...offer ends on the 4th though.   It is listed to be a miter saw stand as well as planer stand.   I have not checked the dimensions but it should be for the dw734/33.  It is made to be folded up and have the saw be attached.  ONLY thing I *HATE* about this stand is once you mount your saw, its stuck on there.  If there was an easy removal bracket like on their dw723 stands that would make this an awesome and complete stand.  I just am very bothered that you must unbolt it from the stand to use it without.  I almost want to find a busted up 723 stand, cut the part that the saw brackets attach to, and mount that to this stand to make the saw easy to remove.

Here is my workaround to fit a dw735 on a dwx726,

First I cut some 3/4" plywood, routed the edges and stained it black and drilled the mounting the holes for the planer and attached it to the stand.





I was unsure if the planer was going to be too heavy and tip the stand over when stored in the vertical position but to my suprise it worked fine.




 
And if you have the infeed/outfeed tables for the planer they fit when stored in the vertical position



It works but I would only leave it in the vertical position near a wall or up against somthing sturdy becuase it could get pushed over. I really like the stand I know that it is a portercable rebrand but I wish it was 2 inchs wider and "foot/bumper" was an inch or two taller it would be alot more sturdy.  These should be non issues with a miter saw though.

I still can't believe dewalt is marketing this as a planer stand when there flagship "portablr planer" does not bolt right on.  One more thing when the stand is in horizontal position it has 2 rubber bumper feet but in the vertical position the metal foot/bumper does not have any type of protection, some pipe wrap should work though.

I have the Delta branded stand which is very similar to this stand. I put a 3/4" plywood top as a portable work table.

Thanks for the review! Nice garage by the way!

Just picked one of the up.  I like the sturdiness of the stand and the fact everything is bolted solid to the stand.  We plan on using this set up very much like we used to operate with the Delta sawbuck several years back.  Easier to secure it for theft or transport.  Haven't used it enough to post anything about long term durability.

However I was very disappointed with the assembly process.  The main lift handle had misaligned holes and will have to get drilled out and new bolt installed.  Also, some of the threaded holes in the frame seemed to have poorly cut threads or paint build up that made it difficult to install screws.  Finally the rail bolts were so over torqued I nearly stripped the heads out to loosen them to install our saw.
