1. Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand – Easiest to Use
Product Highlights
The Bosch T4B is a sturdy, versatile, and very portable full-size miter saw stand. These stands are extremely popular and customers may have to hunt around to find one. Retailing at just under $350, users receive a lot for that money.
The T4B has a universal mount, so regardless of what miter saw you use, it will fit. The stand also has wheels for portability, will fold almost flat for storage, and features Bosch’s patented Gravity-Rise cantilever system for rapid setup and takedown.
Features
- Universal saw mount
- Solid rubber wheels for easy transport
- Gravity-Rise system for quick setup and takedown
- Stand weight: 76.7 pounds
- Weight max: unknown
- Board length max: 18 feet
The Good
The universal mount system is a big plus and makes this stand the most adaptable one on the market. The Gravity-Rise system makes setup easy and the rubber wheels suck up the bumps on jobsites. The stand is heavy, which lends to stability.
The Bad
The plastic parts on the stand have a tendency to break. For such a well-thought-out piece of equipment, this is a disappointing oversight.
The stand is heavy, so toting takes a little extra effort. The maximum weight the stand can support is not disclosed by Bosch.
Pros
- Gravity-Rise system = easy setup and takedown
- Universal saw mount
- Rubber wheels for easy transport
- Wide base and weight for stability
Cons
- Bulkier than its competitors
- Expensive
2. ToughBuilt TB-S600 Miter Saw Stand – Best All-Around
Product Highlights
ToughBuilt lives up to its name, and the TB-S600 is no exception. Despite its rugged appearance, the stand only weighs 61 pounds, yet can hold up to 800 pounds of weight.
The TB-S600 has rubber 9-inch rubber wheels that traverse most surfaces well. Even with a saw attached, it is easy to extend the folded chassis and set up quickly.
Features
- Universal mount
- Solid rubber wheels for easy transport
- Stand weight: 61 pounds
- Weight max: 800 pounds
- Board length max: 10 feet
The Good
Very, very stable, due to the boxed tube support frame. It features a spare parts tray on one end. The universal mount allows for most saws. The TB-S600 has two working heights, quick-release tool mounts.
Cam locks on the extensions can be extended one-handed. Folds relatively flat to a hand truck-like configuration, perfect for wheeling to the jobsite.
The Bad
Expensive (retailing at about $300). There are some customer complaints about quality control issues upon receipt of product (broken compression pins, chipped paint), but those are few. Most customers are satisfied with the product.
Pros
- Universal mount for most saws
- Solid construction (boxed tube frame)
- Large wheels
- Item tray for convenience
Cons
- None, except occasional quality control issues like broken pins or chipped paint on receipt
3. DeWalt DWX726 Miter Saw Stand
Product Highlights
The DeWalt DWX726 a durable and portable miter saw stand that is wheeled. It comes in at around $200 retail, considerably less than the Bosch T4B above.
The DWX726 folds down flat for storage and has a pneumatic adjustment system for three working heights. Despite being constructed of steel, its load maximum is only 300 pounds.
Features
- Solid rubber wheels for easy transport
- Stand weight: 67 pounds
- Weight max: 300 pounds
- Board length max: 8 feet
The Good
DWX726 is durable, portable, folds flat for storage, and is not too heavy to lug around.
The saw mount fits three major types of miter saw (standard, compound, and sliding types). It is affordable and has a large working surface. Good for toting to a jobsite.
The Bad
DeWalt customer service has been reported to be seriously lacking. Also, the assembly instructions need some work, but if you are handy, you can probably figure them out on your own.
Pros
- Has wheels for transport
- Durable steel construction
- Folds for storage
- Fits any miter saw
Cons
- Difficult to set up
- Some problems mounting some models of saw
4. Ridgid AC9946 Miter Saw Stand
Product Highlights
This is a well-built, tubular steel, wheeled (50% larger than other brands), jobsite-portable miter saw stand that fits most types of miter saws (compound and sliding). We found this very easy to fold for storage.
Features
- Oversized rubber wheels (50% larger than competitors) for great transport
- Stand weight: 67 pounds
- Weight max: 300 pounds
- Board length max: 9.5 feet
The Good
Many professional contractors liked this product. The mounting bracket is essentially a universal bracket. This solidly-built stand and the oversized wheels make transport easy.
The wheels are a feature widely discussed. Pulling the stand over curbs and up stairs is no problem. Retailing at $200, we would regard this as a best buy, but there have been some mechanical problems (see below).
The Bad
Some users report that the stand is hard to erect with a saw mounted to it. The support arm extensions also tend to bow under modest weight (such as with roof decking).
This results in warping of the support and the load sliding off the stand. If you intend on doing heavy work (which most contractors do), this may no be the stand for you.
Pros
- Oversized rubber wheels
- Universal mount
- Folding frame
Cons
- Flimsy extension supports
5. BORA Portamate PM-4000 Miter Saw Stand – Best Bargain Stand
Product Highlights
The BORA Portamate PM-4000 is our best buy pick. It does not have transport wheels and must be carried to the jobsite. Apart from this, the PM-4000 is sturdy and affordable, retailing at about $100.
It is intended for heavy-duty use and can hold up to 500 pounds. Despite not having wheels, BORA does sell an optional wheel kit, so if you must, you can roll it to the job.
Features
- Folding leg stand
- Stand weight: 30 pounds
- Weight max: 500 pounds
- Board length max: 10 feet
- Optional wheel kit available
The Good
This is an affordable, no frills miter saw stand. It is uncomplicated and it works. ThePM-4000 also folds flat for storage and is rather light (30 pounds).
Despite its featherweight nature, the stand can take loads up to 500 pounds, which means it is intended for serious work. An optional, add-on wheel kit is also available to improve its portability.
The Bad
There have been a few quality control issues reported with the PM-4000. Incomplete welds, locking problems with the folding legs, and frame warping straight from the manufacturer.
Pros
- Affordable
- Lightweight
- Strong
Cons
- Some inconsistent build quality issues
