So lads, how much space do these take up when folded/collapsed? Do they occupy a small footprint?

The last one was £10 off if you spend £50, unfortunately I didn't know I needed a saw table back then!

will be easy enough to make it fit with a bit of plywood or metal

yep i attached mine to plywood then to the brackets ,works fine, if the extensions are in the way ,remove the plastic inserts and everything should slide out.

So we've all got one, apart from @cumbriasteve
I dont either....find kneeling on the floor and wooden blocks much easier honest...
Actually I dont, my evolution saw is screwed to a black and decker workmate. And have a couple of tressel type stands when required. Mostly used to chop up all sorts of crap wood for sticks to be chopped.
The makita saw only comes out for real wood work of which I do very little now.
Though they do fold up quite small storage of all these gadjets does take up a fair bit of space when added up..

Mine is currently folded up in the hall, much to my wife's dismay - she doesn't understand that you must keep your mitre stand to hand at all times, just in case a scenario requiring its immediate deployment occurs

yup handy, dont regret buying mine.got to use the saw today on the stand .there quite robust and well worth the money dont know how I managed without one . time saved and bending down all the time in use
Still get my big trestle arrangement out when working with long stock though but up to 3m or so there perfect.
stick a 5.1m 9x3 on and it gets the grump
