The Hitachi 12-Foot Miter Saw Stand can be extended to a 12-foot maximum length for increased versatility and comes with fully adjustable 12-inch work supports. The adjustable roller fence conveniently aligns material with the saw. This durable yet lightweight stand is made of heavy-duty aluminum and weighs only 38-1/2 pounds. Fully retracted, the stand measures only 3-3/4 feet long, making it easy to store or fit sideways in a pickup. The strong support beam can hold up to 500 pounds and the universal cam locks make saw mounting easy. The stand's dual extension arms accept router and vise accessories. This product includes a wheel kit and is backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Saw stand Comment: Very portable and easy to set up time after time. Folds up slim so it is easy to store. Customer Rating: Summary: Nothing outstanding here Comment: This saw stand has over the last year been more and more of a dissapointment. As my peers have noticed the outriggers can not be leveled with the saw table... I repeat... CAN NOT be leveled... there is no adjustment available or possible... saw is too heavy for the table and this was the table suggested by Hitachi... when you grab that saw there is sway and motion back and forth. I can't help but wonder if this would be hazordous. Customer Rating: Summary: Could be better Comment: I've had the stand for more than a year and have grown increasingly disappointed. I'm using it w/a Makita LS1214L which is a little big but regardless the stand has inherent problems. The locking base has a tendancy to unlock during transport. The more you move it around, the greater the chance the saw will detach. The support rests can be difficult to level with the saw table making intricate trim cuts somewhat of a problem. Finally, the wheel base is now bent from rolling the saw around.
All-in-all, the stand is stable when in use but you have to be extra careful when in transport. If you wish to detach the saw everytime you relocate it, then the stand is acceptable. However, there are better compound miter saw stands in this price range. Customer Rating: Summary: Hitachi Miter Saw Stand Comment: Overall I am pretty happy with this product. I am not very happy with the extension arms, not level to working table of chopsaw, a little to flimsy when adjusted to the height needed! For on site work, you can make it work! Customer Rating: Summary: Miter Saw Stand Comment: Very sturdy and versatile while at the same time being compact and transportable if needed. Seems a bit overpriced, however.
