However the center support is difficult to align when your trying to erect the stand. I don't think I would buy it if I needed to move it frequently. I use mine in a workshop and don't knock it down or move it around much so it works well as a fixed platform. The stand works reasonably well once you have it setup. I had trouble with it before I attached the saw to the table, can't imagine trying to do this with the saw attached. Finally, be careful, there are many pinch points on this stand. Also, the side rollers, though a nice feature are difficult to align because you must adjust them front and back instead of at one central point.
If you need to mount your big 12 in. I have found it to be very good for some tasks and a little weak for others. It is the wings that get weaker the further you extend them. Everything else about the Trojan is golden.
How cool is that. If you need something stouter, the trade off is portability. It folds up compact and easily, and rolls like a hand truck back to the truck. I have had the Trojan Miter Saw Stand for about three years. Door casings, Crown, Baseboards, Chair rail, the Trojan handles them with ease. slider and cut exterior fascia boards, Redwood decking, or anything 2x in long lengths, you should look for something a little more stout. The Trojan is extremely well made and has the best design I have found.
It's all about what your willing to give up. If all your going to use it for is interior trim carpentry, You have found your tool. If you use a separate roller stand beyond the wings your problems are solved, but then you have to carry another tool. Hope This Helps, Derek Bolt the saw to it, adjust the table height(once), unfold the wings, and cut your trim.
I just use it with the saw sitting on it, I do keep some small Bessey clamps on it to clamp the tool down if you prefer. I like this stand better than others I've used just due to the fact of the ladder design which catches the wood when you cut it. The stand is a bit heavy compared with others but the big pneumatic wheels help quite a bit with that. Works great with my planer as well. Also the ability to move it around on the job site by yourself is quite handy.
It fit perfectly, just didn't need the extensions. Just the ease of getting set up so fast with such a useful product helps pay for it in a hurry. You don't have to carry any extra parts along as you take this to the work site, it's all together. It is easy to level the extensions. It takes up little space considering the job it does, and is even attractive (not that that is necessary). It is strong and so far very durable. I own two Dewalt miter saws, I ordered one of these stands for one of my saws after reading reviews on Amazon.
It sets up or takes down in seconds. I did bolt on wood blocks to raise the saw table to the same level as the rollers and extensions. This day I received this stand and checked it out, I immediately ordered another one for my other saw. I've researched all the stands, and this is an amazing unit. This is brilliantly designed as a sturdy self contained unit that meets all your needs as a miter saw stand. This is easy to transport, and I've not remvoved the saws at all except once when I used one the stands for stand for my large tile saw. I do like to have the best, and I believe the Trojan is the best available.
We cut 16' trim pieces with this stand all the time with no problems with either end.
nasty pinches and blood blisters from set up and transport.Very poor packaging, arrived damaged and no number to call.Suggest makers further refine. Lots of adjustements possible. Does however have advantages including larger wheels compared to other make.
