I looked at this Miter Saw stand a couple of years ago, but couldn't bring myself to pay full price for it, so I went with a less expensive Craftsman product. Big mistake! This is a sturdy, useful, and adaptable stand that doesn't wobble, assembles easy, and can handle multiple tools. It comes with a 4 plug outlet, light, a cubby hole for tape measure and pencils, plus it has a couple of small legs to hold lumber.

Why did I buy it now after purchasing another one a few years ago? Well, the Craftsman was flimsy, the legs didn't lock they there were supposed too, it wasn't at a good height, AND, it was finally on sale for $150 under retail.

My only suggestion for improvement is with the manual. There is absolutely no mention in the assembly instructions about putting the wheels and handle on this stand. I could see the wheels, axle and handle in the box, but nope, not in the instructions. There are pictures with the wheels and handles attached, but no instructions. I was easily able to get them on because it wasn't rocket science, but I thought it was a crazy oversite.

Now I'm looking forward to covering this thing with sawdust!
