Personally, I think it is stupid to have the customer spend a couple of hours doing what the factory could do in 5 minutes. Wrong. I bought this UU610 to work with a Hitachi C10FSH.pros:*pretty stable. This problem can easily be fixed with a plywood adaptor, and I'll probably make one. You can't position the saw to balance it properly.*this is really an erector set that looks like a miter saw stand when you're finished. I guess I assumed that Hitachi would design the stand to fit properly with Hitachi saws. It's not that the assembly is *hard* - it's not.
*good leg folding mechanism.*work supports and stop are pretty goodminuses:*IMO, doesn't really work with the C10FSH. This is compounded by the fact that the directions are awful, pictures, no words. I just expected more from Hitachi, especially for $240. It's that having to do this work is totally unnecessary and would add $10 to the price.In the end, a pretty good universal saw stand, once you suffer through the assembly.
Being tossed in the bed of my pickup probably caused more damage to my truck bed than to this thing. This one today still performs as well as the day i got it. I was worried the saw might be too much for this stand, but I was wrong. I have taken it on many jobs doing work with Habitat for Hummanity, as well as use it in my shop and at home. I bought this stand a few years back on Amazon and am now reviewing it.
It is surprisingly light weight for the sturdiness, strength and durability it has.I had looked at many others, and even compare it to others at job sites and still have not found one that I thought was better. The stand has worked better than expected. I can certainly say it is built very well with strong locking legs, a sturdy top frame and arm extensions. I highly reccomend this product. I use my DeWalt 10" mitre saw which seems like a perfect marriage with this stand.
Purchased this stand about a year ago and should have returned it but I didn't. This is a very wobbly stand and not sturdy enough to work safely with.The ridgid stand is much more solid,although heavy,but well worth the money.This stand is definitely not worth $219.The ridgid stand is on sale now for $99
Both add-ons are included in the box. Just bought the Hitachi UU610 stand (Tracrac). Didn't think the wheel kit or the entension stop were necessary. Isn't life grand. Guess What.
fairly heavy duty. 10" slider stays in place.2. getting to the locks on the arms can be a pain if you have the ext set so the lock is under the saw. not so good for daily set up and brake down. Hard to find one on back.4.
arm in or out. Has wheels so you can leave the saw on and transportdown side of it.1. May times while working I need to quickly slide the ext. It's an ok unit. very heavy.On the up side.1.This thing is solid. The locking system is faster and safer than Dewalt's. when you unlock it the arm twists/sags so the material isn't flat.3. can't leave extensions unlocked because they sag.
Good for Long term set up. (lost a saw on Dewalts do to not fully locked in)3. came with wheels but no handle (though a standard cabinet handle lines up, all I had to do was use a spacer so you can get your hand on it)to sum up.if you want light weight, fast, light, easy setup and brake down get the dewaltIf you want a nice stable shop stand that you can move if needed, If you can set up on a site in one place, get this. fairly hard to get built - setup first time.(plan on a better part of a day)2.
