BORA Universal Miter Saw Stand with Quick Release Tool Mounting System- Portable Miter Saw Stand 500 Lbs Max Weight Load - 34-inch Height with Outrigger Arms Up to 114 Inches - PM-4000, Orange

Miter saw was sitting on a table, not bolted down, not a good setup. So was in the market for a reasonably-priced miter saw stand with outriggers to support the wood being cut. The BORA universal miter saw stand is well-designed. The legs fold down into place and lock well. The mounting system for the saw is well-thought-out and easy to install. The outriggers are adequate from a usage perspective and can extend to a total of around 8 feet or so from side to side. The manual could use a bit better detail. It wasn't clear if the mounting platforms should be set on the stand first and then the saw mounted to it. As it turned out, it was way easier to attach the mounting arms to the saw and then attach the saw to the table. We didn't need them, but mounting adapters and the appropriate bolts are included in case your saw's mounting bolts aren't in a rectangular pattern, a nice touch. The finish seems to be applied well and the stand feels very sturdy. We don't intend to move it now that it is set up, but it seems very easy to remove the saw (by squeezing a couple of levers on the mounting arms) and fold up the legs into a small and light package for transport. Overall, the Bora stand is a nicely-made product at a very reasonable price relative to other products in the market.

I'm a homeowner who recently bought a sliding compound miter saw to do some baseboard replacement. I first clamped my new saw to the top of my ancient B & D Workmate. That worked OK, but... ...then I bought this stand, and it's made the job much easier. The PM-4000 is rock solid, the extensions to support the lumber are simple but work fine, and it's great that the miter saw (once you bolt it to the brackets) can mount to the rails or be detached in just a few seconds. Assembling the stand was next to nothing; the only fiddly business was bolting the saw to the mounting brackets, and that really wasn't much to do. When the day is done, I take the saw off, and fold the stand for storage in my tool shed. I guess this stand might not be the best choice for a professional carpenter, but for a DIY guy like me it's great. IMHO/IME it's excellent value for the money.

I bought this stand for use with a Porter Cable 12" compound miter saw; model 3802. This PortaMate stand supports the large, heavy saw very well. Even outdoors on sloping ground simply leveling the stand as needed, such as with a 2x4 under the legs on the low side, will achieve adequate stability. The saw mounting brackets included allow for quick setup and quick breakdown once attached with the bolts provided, and they fit my saw with no problem. I've been using the stand on a project where I am enclosing 2 acres with solid top rail fencing over varied terrain. As you can imagine I have to constantly move the cutting station as I work my way along the perimeter which is approx. 2,000 ft., hauling the stand, saw, gas generator, and other necessary tools in the back of a pickup. This new stand makes the job much easier, replacing two sets of saw horses and related boards, etc. to support the saw. Hauling all this around for fencing may seem like a lot of trouble, but I am kind of a perfectionist and the big 12" miter saw is perfect for making precise end cuts on the 4" round rails to fit between the posts. (Yes, I average the top rail slope over the span of several posts to smooth out the appearance.) The support arms which slide out on each side are about adequate to support the weight of an 8 ft. 2x4 or 2x6, depending how wet the board is, nothing more. My fence rails are much heavier, so I am using roller stands. In the final assessment I would definitely recommend this product. It is sturdy, very portable, easy to setup, made in USA, and well worth the price. Just be prepared to use roller stands with heavier material.

This miter saw stand is perfect and it arrived very quickly! I ordered it late Thursday night and it arrived on Saturday morning. The quality is quite good and setup is a cinch! Amazon and Affinity Tools must have been listening to customers because mine arrived packed in a second box (the actual Bora box was in perfect condition), there was plenty of protection inside the Bora box, and everything appears to be in good order. "Fit and finish" of the stand is very good - nothing crooked; nothing out of whack; no scratches, etc. Those reviewers who say this is difficult to set up probably shouldn't be using a miter saw because it couldn't be easier. It took me all of 3 minutes. There's really nothing difficult about this at all. You lift up the legs which snap in place securely, you add the extension racks, a few knobs, and then attach the saw mounts (which are spring loaded and attach quickly and easily). All you do next is attach your saw to the mounts. There's nothing more to it. It's sturdy and it's well made. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat this, and from what I see from the reviews, HTC (Affinity Tools) will take care of any problem you might have. If you're hesitating, don't. I'm very critical and very picky, and I can tell you, this is a darned good buy! UPDATE: I set up my 10” Hitachi saw using the extension plates, and then proceeded to cut a few hundred feet of pressure treated lumber for a deck I’m redoing. This stand was a pleasure to use and the height of the saw was perfect. Excellent stand!!

I've been looking for a cheap, sturdy, no frills miter saw stand for a month or so. I finally pulled the trigger on this Bora after I got tired of my DeWalt DW-780 miter saw sitting on the floor all the time. I can now store my shop vac and some other stuff underneath this and reclaim a little space. Overall, after unboxing and minor assembly, the quality of this seems above-average for what I would expect at this price point. Okay, so I would have liked wheels, but I'd rather decent quality and pay less and add my own wheels later, so this suits me well. Small niggles - the paint is reasonably thin, and once you install your saw, tightening the screws down will probably scrape through the paint. I also imagine it will chip off with time if moved frequently. However, the general sturdiness and function is decent, so I'm not going to complain. Also, one of the support arms doesn't quite fit into the main rail it is stored in. I'm fairly sure if I get a rasp and file the swarf or solder spatter off the inside of the tube, it will slide in like the first one did. Also, before installing the saw, the legs weren't quite all flat on the floor. With the weight of the saw on top of this all evened out. I may yet make some screw-out leveling leveling feet to fit inside the tube legs, but that's a project for another day. Things I like: - Price - Sturdines - the way the legs swing out for a larger footprint when down, yet come back up in line with the thinner saw mounting rails. - The support arms are almost un-noticeable once stowed yet give you a good six-ish extra feet of wingspan to support whatever you are cutting. Really useful when working on your own - The mounting hardware includes three different lengths of bolts to accommodate different thicknesses of miter saw bed. - Instructions are clear, and printed in well written English. With pictures. The first time I fitted the saw to the mounting rails, I mounted the saw too far forward, and had to loosen all the bolts and slide it backwards. There is some tomfoolery involved in getting the bolts clear of the clips and handles underneath. Or least, there is when you use the upside down. I didn't cotton onto the square shoulder underneath the head to begin with. It was only after my second fitting of the saw, I looked at the instructions and realized they needed to be the other way up such that the square shoulder lined up with the square cutout in the mounting rails. *Sigh*. Having written this review, I can now go and remove them all, and reinstall them the correct way up. If I'd done it the right way the first time I also wouldn't have needed to cut one down with the grinder. Hopefully this will save someone else from making the same mistake! Overall, I think this is a good buy for the price. Maybe when I get a proper shop I will graduate to a fancier setup with built in dust collection, but for my current apartment setup, this will suffice.

I needed a stand for my 12" CS Miter saw. I am a homeowner/ DIYer so it isn't going to be getting use on a daily basis or on a job site. With that being said, I have been contemplating buying this stand for a few weeks now and when amazon dropped the price I pulled the trigger (under $65), for that price I didn't really expect much out of this stand. First impression was with the package, obviously. It came in its own packaging as amazon did not bother to place it in one of its own boxes, so I was a little worried when I was going to open it, as one side of the package was slightly open. To my surprise there was no damage and all the parts were present and intact. Unpacking the stand took a few seconds and the base and legs are already put together and just need to be opened and placed in the opened and locked position. This is done by a swinging the legs outward and by a self locking/retracting pin, very easy to do. (One other reviewer did mention that when closing the stand the legs have to be closed in the same order they are opened, good tip he said was label them which two go first). The directions given are the not best written but the rest of the pieces are pretty self explanatory to put together. It comes with the end extension bars which are not rollers just round lightweight aluminum. The only part that took a little extra time was mounting it to the support arms and locking it in place. It does come with bolts to mount the saw to the mounting arms and it gives a few set ups, each set up being a different bolt length. It also comes with small displacement mounting bars for saws that have unusual mounting holes, (mines didn't, but I did read that some people did use this feature). To adjust the supports arms outward or up and down it comes with plastic knobs that are screwed into the stand to loosen or tighten the support arms to adjust them according to each use. I don't know how long those will last as I dropped one on initial install, it was fine but I don't think it can take too many of those drops before it would break or crack. Once I had the saw mounted to the support arms, I moved the saw over to the stand and locked it in place and I have to say it was pretty tight and sturdy on there. I also have to mention the legs do have grommets on the bottom of the them that are made to level the stand and are pitched on an angle to add to the support of the legs/base. I will most likely leave the saw mounted on the stand as I have enough room in my garage to allocate for this, so it will not be getting that much movement unless I am working outside, but I don't think it will be a problem as the stand is relatively light weight and the saw can be transported as shown in the pictures with the mounting bars. I did get to use it this past weekend for a work bench I am building and the stand performed very well. I cut 2x4x8', 4x4x8' and 2x10x10', each cut I adjusted the supports to what I needed and they performed great. They did sag a little bit when fully extended but not to the point that it affected performance of the cut and also all you have to do is adjust the height of the end supports and problem solved. Height of the stand for me was right on (I am about 6' tall) and made each cut relatively easy. For me the stand performed well above my expectations. As others have stated if you need it for everyday use on a job-site or will give it very heavy use, I also do not think it will last that long. but if you're a homeowner or DIYer do not hesitate to pick this up you will not be disappointed. I will update my review later on to see how it lasts for the long haul or for the use I will need it for.

One day I plan to build a really cool rolling workbench that will have my miter saw, table saw, and a router station all included. But in the meantime, this portable miter saw stand works great. I love how wide the support arms go, and the setup and tear down is very quick and easy. The biggest issue was connecting the brackets to the base of the miter saw, but there was a lot of adjustment, so it fit perfectly. The stand and saw combination is very stable for cutting lots of different kinds of material. The stand folds down to an easily portable size that will easily fit in the trunk of a car. You might struggle more fitting your table saw in the car than this stand! I have been super pleased with it and use it a lot - highly recommended.

Really works great. It's not like some marvel where you can set up and collapse it with one finger, but it's also not $300. It seems to be welded properly and the build is square/level. Paint coating is also well done. Quick-release clamps work amazingly well. Definitely detach any saw or tool when storing, and hang up the stand separately. Very simple and versatile - I mounted a vise on a small piece of particle board and use some speed clamps to hold it to the stand - worked great. I wish that additional sets of clamp rails were not so expensive by comparison, or maybe they could offer a kit that came with 2 sets at a better package price. I may just order a 2nd stand instead, and use the extra stand as a foldable sawhorse. The thing really is sturdy.

I didn't think i needed a stand for my little 8 inch miter saw !!! Man was I wrong. After a little bolt adjustment, the saw being on the smaller side, fits the mounts. A bonus... you can still use the saw without taking it off the mounts. The mounts with their rubber feet give your saw a wider and more stable foot print . Well made, solid, great price, easy to use and carry. Installing and removing the saw from the stand is easy. If your looking for a stand... this is the one

La calidad de los materiales es muy buena, solo mejoraría la forma de sujetar los tubos de soporte de material, queda un poco inclinada la pieza.

Being tall myself, this saw stand stood out as being one of the tallest working platforms. Good quality item at a really good price. Extending arms work well. I have no regrets buying this product, probably should have got it sooner.

Easy to assemble, very good quality, really recommend, very good value for money, thanks

Very pleased with this. Easy to construct and very solid.
