Do you think this (see link below) is a reasonable miter saw stand
(Masterforce MX124),or should I insist on crafting something myself?
FWIW, I collected anew Delta DW713saw, so far untested! I did get in
some shop time this weekend, but on an unrelated repair.

The main issueI see with making my own is my lack of a jointer. Another
option is to mount the saw on a table (or saw horses) and use a roller
stand (I've seen pictures of that being done, but it looksrisky). It's
not like I'm planning to build a deck or anythinglike that--more like,
"clamp stand" and "plant table".

I have my miter saw on a portable stand so I can take it were the work is.
It also has the added advantage that it can be collapsed and stood against a
wall. I have seen the permanent stands that people make and they are great
for shop use but portable they aren't. . I have been working with wood, off
and on, for over 40 years and have never had the need for a jointer so if
you feel the need to build something, the lack of a jointer is not a
problem.
