Customer Review: money maker
Summary: 5 Stars
This stand is used every day for finish trim in new construction.I have been using it for over three years.It is easy,fast to set up and was worth every dollar I paid for it.Master carpenter 30 years.Customer Review: Not as good as DeWalt makes it out to be
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this saw for the primary reason that it's lightweight, which is great for portability. It folds up nicely and can be stood up in a corner for storage. The "Universal Fit" really only applies to DeWalt's line of miter saws (no surprise, but misleading).
My Hitachi C12LSH is not one of the saws that fits properly. If I were to mount the saw to a piece of plywood as they recommend, the deck height of the saw would be about 1/4" higher than the highest setting on the rest/stops when they're placed right next to the saw. It gets even worse when the stops are placed on the extendable arms, they're about 1/2" below deck height. The arms themselves are flimsy, they sag very badly and don't slide in and out of the housing very well. I'm really disappointed in the reduction in quality of DeWalt's tools. Most of my older tools are DeWalt, are they're great, but the newer ones are junk.
Customer Review: Time-saving and solid
Summary: 4 Stars
If you own a miter-saw -and use it fairly regularly - and don't exactly like to get down on your knees and use it on the floor while balancing long stock on pieces of 2X4 (i.e. you value your back, your knees, and your sanity) - then this stand is for you. The saw-mounting system is solid, quick to use, and indexes well (locks in place on the stand at the same point every time). It puts the saw at a good working-height, and the outrigger arms are solid and don't require an inordinate amount of fiddling to get them locked in place. The legs deploy and stow with a simple, solid mechanism. I rated this a 4-star product because of the outrigger supports/stops; while they work, they are a bit of a pain to get set correctly. If you want to use the flip-up saw stops for any repetitive precision cuts, it takes a while to get them set *just* right (they tend to "walk" as you tighten the thumbscrews). Now that I mention that, it would be nice if the locking mechanism for the supports was designed differently - it's very clumsy to reach inside them to operate the small thumbscrews if you have large hands. Regardless of all the nit-picks, though, I still think this was a good purchase for me, and would buy this stand again.Customer Review: Very pleased.

Summary: 5 Stars
The work supports are a little cheesy but overall the quality of this stand is first rate. The stand is quite sturdy/stable when set up. The aluminum extrusion main beam is especially nicely done. I added two extra of the cheesy work supports (which could also be a little bit wider) and would recommend the same to others. I mounted a Bosch 3915 10-inch slide compound miter saw on this stand and it all works well together. Breaking it down for transport takes maybe 60 seconds. Grip the saw and release the latches to remove it and set it aside, fold the legs 1-2-3-4, and you're on your way.
