BOSCHT4B Portable Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand with Wheels, 18' Material Capacity

I tried a brand X table to save a little. Nothing compares to this beautifully constructed Bosch saw table. When you consider the investment of the 12” Bosch articulated Miter Saw it’s easy to protect your investment with this awesome table.Buy it, no doubt you will appreciate the quality.

I have had a lot of different miter saw stands with a lot of different miter saws. I own the Bosch TS4100 table saw which I purchased with the table saw version of the Gravity-Rise Stand. I loved it so much that when it was time to buy another Miter Saw I looked at this product first and compared it to other stands. While this was the most expensive stand I looked at I decided it was worth the extra expense because of my own experiences.1) Just like the Gravity-Rise stand on my TS4100, it is solidly built of steel. (the top rail that the saw clamps to on the T4B is aluminum).2) This is hands down the fastest stand to set up. I can literally get it out of the truck and have it set up and cutting in just over a minute. (provided I don't have to run an extension cord) Really! When time is money this is extremely important. The more time it takes me to set up means the less time I have to make a living, it adds up.3) You can leave the saw on the stand without ever taking it off... Ever. It can stay on for storage, transport, or stay configured as a long term work station and it is stable in all configurations.4) If you need to take the saw off because you want to place on a bench or you have to go through a very narrow space then you just need to twist tow nobs and the part of the stand that holds the saw to the top rail comes off and moves with the saw. It even has rubber feet on it so you can use the saw that way without the stand. It is rare that you would but have on occasion needed to do this.5) The wheels on the stand are of good size, wide, and I believe pneumatic which lets the saw roll over what ever you need to on a job site like; Soft dirt, rocks, scraps of framing lumber, air hoses, extension cords, up stairs, door thresholds, grass, etc.6) I put the "Hitachi C12RSH 15 Amp 12-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser" on this stand. This is a VERY HEAVY saw. This stand lets you move it around with ease. Some of my older miter saw stands needed to be broken down to move from place to place and this saw is heavy enough that I feel fortunate I don't need to do that hardly ever.7) This stand costs almost as much as the saw itself which at first is hard to swallow. In the end though I have found that the stand either makes or breaks the saw. If you stand sucks then so does the saw and visa versa. I have a great saw, a great stand, everything is easy to use. This makes for a better product and better productivity.The list can keep going but hopefully I have made my point. Yes it is expensive but all I can say it is money well spent. I am very happy with this stand and I would buy it again if I without a second thought. If you find a better, more easy to use stand that is as versatile I would like to know about it because I have looked. I have owned nine other stands pervious, more if you count the ones I have built myself. I can confidently say from my point of view that there is nothing better.Even when I look at this thing from a shop saw point of view it makes sense. When I used to keep the saw on the bench it got in the way. My folding miter stands also got in the way because they were to much of a pain to take apart a set up so I would leave them set up all the time and against the wall. This stand lets me put the saw away when I don't need it, boom extra space. The set it up again when I need it, boom instant saw when I need it. I have 900sqft of shop floor, might sound like a lot but it gets small fast. This stand also lets me stay flexible and versatile with my shop space and layout.Expensive but definitely worth it. My saw is better because of the stand.

I've been hesitant to buy this stand because of the price. Finally purchased it with a coupon, however, still a considerable deal of investment until I used it... What a surprise!Instructions were ok, however, the rail assembly gave me a hard time and, by installing bolts on the bottom first, it solved the issue.Since I have a 1 car garage, space utilisation is a top priority and having the chance to fold my saw away when not in use it's a great improvement for my shop. I've worked with 8ft stock, cutting at different lengths and the extensions were extremely firm on both sides. There's an adequate stopper for repetitive cuts but, I prefer marking all my cuts.Although I gave it 5 stars, there's one little thing I'd like differently: when folded, there's no rubber protecting the metal base. I would hate seeing my new and expensive stand scratched by the concrete. For now, it rests on a piece of cardboard.

I rarely write product reviews, but the Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand is so good that I was compelled to. The box it arrives in is very large. And heavy. Really heavy. Feel sorry for the FedEx guy kind of heavy. You'll need some space to unpack the contents and assemble the stand. I have a walk out basement, and did part of the assembly outside.I also have a Bosch table saw that came with its version of this stand that is equally good. Compared to the table saw stand, the miter saw stand seemed easier to assemble, with fewer nuts and bolts. Assembly is straight forward, provided you pay attention to the instructions and refer to the parts diagram.Two tool mount assemblies bolt permanently to the bottom of your miter saw. They allow you to remove the saw (relatively) easily from the stand, and lock onto the aluminum rail with solidly locking clamps. Off the stand, they act as feet, so you could build a miter saw bench around them, if you have one saw for both shop and portable use.The tool mount assemblies are genius! Each one has an integrated front and rear threaded nut for bolting on the saw from above. The rear one is on a sliding mechanism, and the front one is on a swiveling mechanism. This allows them to accommodate the different bolt hole patterns of different manufacturers. Contrary to a previous review, the stand mounts a Milwaukee 6955 without taking anything apart. Just go to the hardware store and get yourself four 8mm x 40mm, 1.25 pitch socket head cap screws. The socket head caps fit perfectly in the Milwaukee's hex shaped mounting holes, and are tightened with an allen key. Neat, clean, and simple. The Milwaukee's front mounting holes are slightly farther apart than the rear ones, but the self adjusting nature of the tool mount assemblies accept the saw with no problems.Once completed, the stand is rock solid, and rolls easily on the large wheels. Combined with the saw, it's pretty heavy. Probably 150 or so pounds. But all that mass and the wide stance keep it from being top heavy or unstable. Loading it onto a truck without a ramp of some kind is going to be a two man job. This isn't a factor for me, since I got this because I don't have a permanent shop space, and have to put my tools away after use. The stand can be folded and stored vertically with the saw mounted.The only complaint I can drum up, is that while there is room on either side of the saw for some small accessory "table extensions" for working with small stock that could attach to the rail, Bosch doesn't offer anything like this. You can easily make them yourself, but it would be nice if the rail had pre-drilled mounting points, or accessory mounts were available.All in all, a truly excellent product in both design and execution. Worth every penny, and really kind of a bargain at this price for what you're getting.
