   Is it an old Trojan or Rouseau?

   Looks like a Rousseau.  Had one, a little heavier duty but actually liked it when I used to have to take the saw out on the job

   It looks very much like one that I had a few years ago, that came from HorborFreight.

   It was a lightweight, flimsy thing. Hard to work with, hard to set up and put away.

   I got rid if it, and now have the Hitachi stand. Expensive, but worth every penny.

   Yeah, it doesn't look exactly over-engineered, does it?  I have the Ridgid, which most of the time, holds my planer, love it!  There are a couple of small things they could have improved upon, but it's "a horse" for sure.

   For a couple of years now, I have been hoping that either Rigid or Bosch would market their "gravity-rise" tables separately from their portable tablesaws.If they did, I would probably buy two more of them -- one for my planer, and one for a router-table. Those, coupled with a table saw, yeild an almost complete, portable shop. And when the weather is good, I could simply roll my shop out into the driveway.Politics is the antithesis of problem solving.
