Very high quality product, well designed and engineered. Highly recommended. Easily adapted to conform to other saws bases. Provides a very sturdy work platform, stable correct height and easily open and collapsed.
and the bolts are all too long and can catch. My Ridgid stand has no problems. You have to fold it up to move the saw, that is really a bad design, never had any stand require that. So what if it is easy to collapse if you have to carry the entire stand and saw to get it into a truck or up stairs. The valve stems are on the inside and hard to even get too. With the flat tires they will come off the rim and they are not easily re-seated. It is bulky in that when folded it sticks out unnecessarily, the non wheel end. I would have never bought this except it came with the saw.
You can not get this up or down stairs using the wheels, unless you want to bang the stairs or drag the stand, scraping every surface that touches, especially bad on concrete, as the wheels are too small in diameter, go flat easily, were flat in the box even though it states they are inflated to 25psi, maybe they were. The above black thinly painted bar ,[most here have a padded handle], to get it into a pickup bed will get scraped as again with the small wheels you are forced to drag it on the ground as you tilt it. This is NOT for a professional who needs portability, ok maybe in a home shop. A lot of assembly compared to similar stands.
a solid stand would work just fine. Let me start of with my tablesaw model 315.228390 craftsman the tablesaw is heavy.That is why i bought the TS 2000stand. In the complete folded position the stand tips over.The bar should be longer to prevent this.So there goes the space safeing feature.furthermore i am a short person. bosch does not inform consumers that there are limitations with this stand.seriously thinking of returning it.HGW there is no hight adjustment.basicly what i am saying the folding feature is useless for me.
The Bosch is very sturdy, and raises and lowers very easily. My only complaint is that the stand is too wide to fit through a 36 inch door when in the raised position; it must be collapsed. If I had known this before buying, I still probably would have bought this model, because all wheeled stands are either a similar width, or seemed poorly built (Craftsman). Wanted a wheeled table saw stand that was easier to get into and out of my workshop. When collapsed it is easy to wheel it around, but it has to be wrestled through the door.
(I use it in my garage, which is on the same level as my basement workshop). Be aware, however, that you may not be able to directly mount your saw to this stand. I screwed a piece of three-quarter plywood to the stand, and then mounted my Craftsman saw to the plywood. Works fine.
Raising and lowering a very heavy table saw is almost effortless - if someone stole it I would buy another one and accept no substitute. I bought this stand seperatly from the Bosch 4000 table saw (which is also a great product). I can lift the separate saw and carry it, and I can lift the stand and carry it, but together I haven't even tried. The wheels are large and rugged enough I can pull it through the yard without any difficulty. Bosch really hit a home run with this stand, it is mostly heavy gauge aluminum, what parts are not aluminum are heavy-duty parts which can withstand any kind of abuse.
For me, this hasn't been an issue, but if I was (for example) lifting it in and out of a pickup truck bed all the time I'd have to use a ramp. The whole unit feels solid as a tank. Even if you don't have a Bosh table saw, the manual for the TS2000 indicates it will work with: Dewalt DW744, Craftsman 21830, Makita 2703, Hitachi C10RA2, or the Ridgid TS2400LS. however the saw and the stand a In fact, it will probably work with many other models - there are six "sets" of mounting holes so one of these, some combination of them (or if you are adventurous, drill your own) will almost certainly work with your table saw.If I had to find a negative, which would be a hard thing to do, I could only say that once you put the saw on this stand, it becomes a very heavy piece of equipment.
