Description of PortaMate PM4400 Miter Saw Stand
Whether you haul your miter saw to the jobsite or bring the work into your shop, this is a great choice for a stand to hold your saw. Even the beefiest miter saw fits without fussing, and it holds an impressive 500 pounds. Mounting is not complicated, even if the holes on your saw base don't line up with the predrilled holes on this base. All you need is a subtable of 3/4-inch plywood and you're set. Whether you mount your saw directly to the saw stand or to the plywood first, removing it is a cinch. And working at your saw on this stand is even better. The work height is 36 inches, comfortable for a broad range of body types, and it's got great support at both infeed and outfeed with 13-inch "T" fixtures. Overall, the stand will handle 116 inches of stock, so the trim carpenter will be really pleased with this stand. But what we like best is its easy portability. You don't have to remove your saw to either head on back home from the jobsite or store it neatly in a space-challenged workshop. Just slide the saw to the left, press the lock buttons, walk the saw down to the ground and let the legs fold in, close up the other legs and you're ready to go. on rugged six-inch wheels. It even rolls without folding it down. The fit and finish are quality, and the powdercoating will withstand even the nastiest conditions. This is a good solid stand for both the back of the pickup truck as well as the home workshop.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteWhat's in the Box

Tools and Hardware Reviews of PortaMate PM4400 Miter Saw Stand
Customer Review: A Great Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I had looked at probably every stand on the market and planned on purchasing another and much more expensive stand for my Bosch sliding miter saw. I saw this stand assembled for display at a local store and had not paid much attention to it before. I was much suprised at its sturdiness when I actually put my hands on it. I went to Amazon and read the reviews. The price was so low that I decided to try it out The reviews I read complained about the push buttons that let the legs up and down, about the paint, and about the problems at putting it together.
Mine arrived well packaged and intact. Upon opening it I read the directions. I decided to assemble it with the wheels on the bottom of the legs so I could easily roll it out of the way in my small shop. The directions were very simple. My snap buttons worked perfectly and the paint is sound. The color isnt my favorite but I wasnt buying a decorator stand . I had it together in about 5 minutes. I cant understand anyone having problems with this stand. It could have been easily assembled without the directions. The box had a picture of an assembled stand. That would have been enough.
There are a lot of saws, a lot of stands and a lot of needs and opinions. This unit wooks great for me. More sturdy than many and should stand up to any of them. You can pay more for more engineering, paint or appearance but you cant beat the price and the ease of function.
Still no problems and still very satidfied after many months of use. The problem I read in another review of a missing specialty bolt that the hardware couldnt match was a chuckle. The clerk must have been a high school kid. The part is simply a toilet flange hold down bolt and is available at any store that sells almost anything including my local Wal Mart and the local Lowes.
