Craftsman  10' Universal Miter Saw Stand

Got this stand for $15 on Craigslist new in box! Completed assembly with no problems. It is long and heavy but just what I needed. I found the mounting platform to be some what outdated and converted it to accept quick clamp mounts from old stand. Perfect and very quick removal of saw. The wheels are really low quality for such a heavy piece. Went to surplus store and bought heavy duty wheel set. Now it is not only sturdy but more stable during transport. Sears should think about upgrading wheels and update saw mounting platform as it looks like a work-mate product and is lower quality than frame.

For $116, not too bad; a bit unsteady when set up, but does the job. One major weakness: the wheel assemblies. These are cheap and flimsy, and after installation, if one tries to wheel the unit, the wheels resist (because of the awkward angle that they are on when attached to the leg) and the assembly slips up the leg that it is mounted to. This can be remedied by drilling a hole into the leg, on the opposite side from where the wheel is, for a large sheet metal screw. There is already a hole in the backside of the wheel assembly, so if you use that to mark on the leg, drill the hole in the leg, and then thread the screw through both holes, into the leg, it will hold the wheel assembly tight and there is no more slippage. I did not have the problem of screws/bolts not matching as another reviewer reported (although one cap nut was missing from the parts bag).

A gift for my brother. He loves it.

What makes it universal is the step where you drill holes into the fiber boards to mount your saw. I spent the first hour repairing one of the legs with a bad spring pin. Then the board guides (just folded metal) were not folded over enough to put the bolt in per the directions. It is also disappointing that the cheap wheels are not useable to move the stand around when it is folded up. Being unlikely I will want to move it while unfolded, I may move the wheels to another part of the stand. Buyers remorse now but I did get it on clearance but even 1/2 price does not seem appropriate.

Bought to go with Craftsman 12" sliding miter saw. Works well and is very stable. Heavy. Took awhile to assemble. The rollers and the extensions work well and very useful.

When I purchased the Craftsman 10 Universal Miter Saw Stand I was under the impression that it would work with the 10" Compound Miter Saw (professional unit). I put it together as instructed by the attached paperwork. I worked for a few hours trying to get straight cuts. After walking away to get my head clear, I looked back to see the stand was bowed due to the weight of the saw. I took it off and reinstalled it thinking I might have done something wrong....nope...it still bowed, so it is universal except for the heavier saw... I returned it to find a
stand that can handle the increased weight of the big saw. For a lighter saw the stand would be a very good unit and if I were going to have a smaller saw I would purchase the stand from Sears.

I bought one for my son and it was so much better than mine that I bought one for myself as well. This stand is very stable and mobile. It has rollers and outriggers to support long work

Pretty sturdy, except for the wheels. Easy to set up. Nice features, but the work area is a little too high.

Pros: Sturdy, easy to assemble, good value for the money Cons: Weight (too heavy)

I like the stand for its ease of setup, but I do not like the wooden platform you have to mount your saw to. It inhibits the movement of the saws extensions and doesn't appear that the wood will not last long. It would be better to have the same square tubing with bolt slots to hold the saw to the stand. I found a better stand at ***** for less money after I got the Craftsman stand.
