Description of Bosch TracRac T3B Portable Miter Saw Stand
Compatible with part # 5412L; The most portable & versatile Miter Saw Stand available - with capacity to match!; Integrated rubber wheels for maximum portability; 6" adjustable leveling legThere are lots of saw stands on the market, but this is the only one we've seen that can fold down without removing the saw. Then you just roll the whole assembly away on its solid rubber wheels. But if you do want to take the saw down, it only takes a couple of seconds to release it from the CamLock base. You can slide the saw all the way left or right if you need the outfeed support, too. While anyone would love this stand in the shop, it's at the jobsite that it rises to the occasion?or lowers itself?on telescoping leveling legs that can accommodate up to six inches of surface difference, perfect for the homebuilder. It's lighter than you'd expect for a stand that will take on 500 pounds, too. Outfeed support reaches a nice 20-foot length. The CamLock base is universal and should fit any make of saw. Because of that and its fold-down ability, this stand gets our highest score.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch TracRac T3B Portable Miter Saw Stand
Customer Review: This is the stand to own
Summary: 5 Stars
Having used just about every stand on the market, the Tracrac stand (and it's Bosch/Hitachi variants, I have the Bosch)is where it's at!
I purchased my stand over 2 years ago. Back in the day before "factory pre-assembly". I don't remember how long it took me to assemble, but not so long that I needed to cry about it.
mounting the base: Balance is VERY important. If you have a compound slider, think about the position of the saw as you CARRY it. I happen to carry mine with blade about 1/3 of the way in. (This suits how I store it in my truck and keeps from having to reach around the handle while carrying it.) What I am getting at is , if at all possible, balance the saw on the mount as you would carry it, as that is how you will drop it into the stand. when my stand is set up (reasonably level), I can drop my saw on it and it will sit there,... UNLATCHED. As a result I don't have to worry about it falling as I dog it to the stand.
The adjustable leg: If you have set the stand up where you can't adjust it to stable with that leg. You probably shouldn't be setting up there in the first place. It gives you a couple of inches in either direction.
The wheels: Yeah, they're small. But it is sold as a saw STAND not a saw dolly. Having them is sweet when you want to cruise from one end of the house to the other. They can handle a driveway/walkway that is in reasonable condition. If I have to go from front yard to back yard, I slide the saw to one end of the stand and carry the whole deal on my shoulder using the legs to balance the unit. Not much more than a bag of concrete. Bigger wheels sure would be nice, but really would only make it harder to store.
My gripes: 1. extension supports: for the sake of space, I remove them for storage. It would be nice if I didn't have to 're-calibrate' them when I re-attach them. Not that that is a huge chore.
2. the rotating stop: it would be nice if it was a flip stop instead of the contraption that it is. Not that it is excessively hard to use, but if it was easier I think I would use it more than I do.
All in all, I would still take this stand over any other I have had the (dis-)pleasure of working with.
