This is a great product. I love it and would not change it for the world or a new wife... Now that is love.
Great concept, great saw! 2007-12-18
I have been using Rousseau products for nearly 20 years. They have made me a lot of money in terms of saved time and have really extended the repertoire of my work.I have ripped whole sheets of 3/4" MDF with this tool! If you need a jobsite saw, this is the one.
Horrible directions 
2006-10-11
The initial set-up of this stand out of the box should've been a breeze. However, it wasn't, because the directions were not well written.
There are two extra washers and four plastic spacers that came with the saw but are not listed on the parts list. None of the steps in the directions clarify their use. Should we guess what they're for?
Besides the written descriptions, which would be useless without accompanying photos, there are no instructions on installing the wheels, nor clear explanation on how to properly set-up and take-down the stand. Hey, it's not rocket science, but would it be so difficult to clarify with a picture or two?
My overall impression is that this is sturdily constructed, but the downside is the weight. You NEED the wheels to move this thing at all. I can see that it will take two people to get it in and out of a truck... One of the nice things about the Makita is that it's so light -- but now that is factored out.
I haven't taken it out into the field yet, but I will be using it on a framing project shortly. Most of the four stars I'm giving this review have to do with my trusting the descriptions of people that use this and other Rousseau products. They come highly recommended -- if not, I might've returned the product on first impressions.
go for it, you won't regret it!!!!!! 2005-10-27
Purchased the makita, hated it. Paid the extra $270 dollors for this stand and now its a good saw. Most of the downfalls of the makita saw are corrected by purchasing this stand.
A awsome table 2005-10-22
One of the best things I bought for my guy. He loves it, and so does the guys he works with now they want one too.
Rousseau comes thru!!!! 2005-09-14
Transitions from full setup to hand truck position in seconds. Mobile in both setup and folded positions. Integral handle makes hand trucking a breeze. 10" pneumatic tires allow great portability. 27" rip capacity. Permanent mounting. "T"-style fence locks rock solid. Includes saw mounting hardware.
Worth the wait! 2004-02-18
I am a remodeling contractor and my work consists of kitchen and bath remodeling, some cabinet making and a lot of misc. construction projects. For the last 20 years, I have lugged a Makita table saw around in my truck and for the most part, cut material with the saw placed on the floor or ground. Now that I'm older and don't bend over as well as I used to, I've searched for a good saw stand that is portable and found, in my opinion, the perfect one.
I have owned the Rousseau 2950 for my Dewalt DW708 miter saw for about 2 years now. At first I thought I made a mistake because of the size of the unit and the limited space in my van. I'm here to tell you, besides the saw, the stand was the best purchase I made in years. This lead me back to the Rousseau line of products for my consideration of a table saw stand for my Makita 2708 table saw.
Originally I ordered the Rousseau 2700XL kit. The more investigating I did the more I started to question my decision to purchase the 3-piece set. Where or how will I store it in my van? Taking the saw out and storing it just meant more space being swallowed up. I was having buyer's remorse only days after placing the order.
I called Rousseau and questioned them on the 2750 Portamak. Another problem I was dealing with was the replacement of my old 2708. I wasn't sure what I wanted to buy to replace it. I needed / wanted a 10" saw and wasn't sure if Makita was going to be my choice. Considering all the pros and cons, Makita makes a workhorse saw and the pros for me outweighed the cons. Another plus is that my 2708 can still retain a spot in my collection of tools till I'm ready to spend another $300.00 for a new portable saw. Rousseau told me they sell many of the 2750 Portamak tables. I was surprised because I never see any reviews on it. The fella went on to explain it's portability and that the saw bolts to the stand permanently. My problem solved!
I quickly went back to Amazon and cancelled my order for the 2700XL kit. Purchasing the 2750 with the out feed table, router table and extension wing cost a few more bucks than buying the 2700XLK however this wheeled stand is well worth the extra money. I have total portability on the jobsite to boot! I just fold up my stand with saw attached and roll it up and down stairs to and from my truck! My back is happy and I am happy!
Setup is simple. There are hex screws that adjust for table alignment and fence rail alignment. The fence slides freely across the extension and router table joints very nicely. With the router table and standard extensions installed I have about 8' of table width. Full sheets of plywood are a breeze to cut AND I'm standing up! I only wish I bought this table sooner.
I want to express how customer friendly the Rousseau guys are. They are tops in my book. Any questions I had were answered on the spot. After receiving my table I had noticed the edge of the table was damaged in shipping. No problem, they sent me a replacement! I questioned a design oversight on their part and they made the part and shipped it to me. Rousseau gets an A++++++ . If this stand holds up to all the bouncing banging and rolling around that my 2950 takes, this is going to be one heck of a stand.
Keep in mind that this is a portable stand made for a portable saw. This setup will not match the ability or sturdiness of a floor mounted shop saw, BUT is comes darn close for what I need it for. The ability to use my router for quick dadoing using the same dead on saw fence is an added plus. Mounting a router fence to the table is also possible.
The 2750 stand accepts all the options offered in the 2700XL version with wheeled portability. The only saws that fit the 2750 are Makita2702, 2703 and the 2708. If you have or are going to purchase a Makita saw, you need this stand!! If you have another brand saw, you will need to get the 2700XL and lug it around, but setup and ability to use your saw like a stationary saw is worth the effort!
Thanks again Rousseau for the "2750 Portamak Saw Stand"!
