Product Description

here are lots of saw stands on the market, but this is the only one we've seen that can fold down without removing the saw. Then you just roll the whole assembly away on its solid rubber wheels. But if you do want to take the saw down, it only takes a couple of seconds to release it from the CamLock base. You can slide the saw all the way left or right if you need the outfeed support, too. While anyone would love this stand in the shop, it's at the jobsite that it rises to the occasion-or lowers itself-on telescoping leveling legs that can accommodate up to six inches of surface difference, perfect for the homebuilder.

There are lots of saw stands on the market, but this is the only one we've seen that can fold down without removing the saw. Then you just roll the whole assembly away on its solid rubber wheels.

While anyone would love this stand in the shop, it's at the jobsite that it rises to the occasion—or lowers itself—on telescoping leveling legs that can accommodate up to six inches of surface difference, perfect for the homebuilder. It's lighter than you'd expect for a stand that will take on 500 pounds, too. Outfeed support reaches a nice 20-foot length. The CamLock base is universal and should fit any make of saw. Because of that and its fold-down ability, this stand gets our highest score.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

From the Manufacturer
At only 39-pounds and supporting up to 500-pounds, the new Bosch TracRac® T3B portable miter saw stand is the perfect addition to any miter saw system. The stand boasts 18-ft. of total outfeed coverage and 12-inch wide extensions for extra support. Unlike any other stand, the T3B can fold down without removing the saw and be rolled on its integrated rubber wheels form job to job. Combined with the T3B's universal saw mounting system, anyone can appreciate total convenience. An adjustable telescoping/leveling leg adapts the stand to environments with up to 6-inches ground variance, while cam-lock bases maximize outfeed to each side by allowing the entire saw to slide left or right as needed for maximum coverage. Saw not included.

I purchased this stand for my Bosch 4412. Assembly was unplesant, with lots of little parts and complex instructions. Much of this could have been done at the factory, but they apparently decided my time was worth less than theirs. The saw fits very nicely, and after 6 months, I have almost forgiven them for the assembly.
The controls are very nice and tool free (though the tracks must be kept CLEAN and lubed with teflon spray). It has one adjustable leg, but if you work outside at all, you will still find yourself using scraps of wood on two other legs to keep it from wobbling. It is very strong and rigid, even with the arms fully extended. My one major objection (see, I said one, I have forgiven them now. This has been very cathartic!) is the legnth of the arms. They could have extended 12 extra inches each direction by just making the arm long as the stand.
The stand really is much better than any others on the market. It is light and portable, and even has tiny little wheels for rolling over hard, even surfaces. It has made loading the monsterously heavy and ill balanced sliding saw a one man job (with breaks!) much better.
The accessory extension stops are also very nice for cuts of the same legnth (like stair pickets). I added a little shim to the face of it so I can use it as a support extension wich helps for long, light trim and things like that. For those of us with more than one miter saw, an addational base can be purchased which makes switching between them a 60 second (no breaks) job.
I hope this helps, and please, don't respond to it in your review. No one likes that!

Burly, but look out. Good cust. service from TracRac
By K. Borchers
This is a pretty serious piece of hardware. It's bigger than you might expect, so if you have space limitations, that should be a consideration. As other reviewers indicated, the setup is a little tedious, but once you sort out all the hardware bags, it's straightforward. Don't bother searching around for the bushings for the wheel assembly by the way, they don't exist (a manual misprint/typo -- there are only bushings for the roller guides) -- you'll know what I mean if you buy one. As for attaching the saw, that can be fairly tough the first time. In order to get the camlocks set correctly, I slid them on first. Then I loosely attached the base rails. Then I wrestled the saw into place. That guaranteed the camlocks would slide correctly when they were released.

Here is the NUMBER ONE thing you have to know about this stand. When you mount the saw, make 100% sure it is perfectly balanced front to back. My beautiful Bosch 5412L took a serious header off of it when I released the camlocks all the way -- a very sick feeling when your 65 pound 500 dollar saw tips backwards off your 250 dollar stand (and y'know, they don't bounce . . . ) A miscalculation on my part, bad one. Kudos to Bosch, after weeping bitterly for a few minutes, I set it back up on the stand, set it to zero bevel/miter, pulled out the combo square and the sucker was true, but that's a different review.

One last issue I had with the stand, two of the legs showed up with broken locking pins, so they won't lock out or up. This could be a bit of a safety issue and makes collapsing/setting up very tough. I called TracRac (Bosch first, but TracRac handles all this stuff) and they immediately promised two new legs would ship the next day. Good responsiveness. I'll repost if there's any trouble with the parts showing up.

Bottom lines:
The Good: Tough piece of hardware, well built, holds a lot of weight and provides a great support extension, wheels are a nice feature for portability of some very heavy sawage. Good customer service.

The Bad: Assembly a bit of a pain, but straightforward. Must be VERY cognizant of the balance front to back, especially with a sliding compound miter. Hard to catch falling saws, it turns out. This was my bust, but the manual could have been a little sterner about the warning . . . for dense folks like me. Broken locking pins were disappointing, but customer service was responsive.

Edit: Tracrac did a good job of getting the replacement legs out to me asap. Got them installed and everything works as advertised. I'll leave the rating at 4 for the assembly and poor leg design. Ultimately, if you buy this, at least you know Tracrac will make things right.

Pretty nice
By EZEZEZEZEZEZEZ
I bought this stand with a Bosch 4212L (12" dual bevel compound miter saw) with the intention of leaving the saw mounted and storing it vertically mounted on the stand. However, the stand is really not set-up to do that, it is possible but you would need a fixed item to lean up against and than create a way for the stand to mount so it wouldn't fall.
The saving grace is that the saw itself is bolted on to two rails with feet which than mount to the stand with a another rail system that has two levers. This makes it easy just to remove the saw (releasing the two levers) and put on a shelf out of the way when not in use. Then the stand can simply be stored vertically out of the way. The stand is very compact when broken down. This makes me feel a little more secure rather than my expensive saw sitting vertically on the stand and waiting for a fall.
That aside the stand is nice and works well when erected. The 4212 is a big, heavy saw but the stand does a nice job of supporting it in all aspects. The wheels work well to move the saw and stand over SMOOTH surfaces from one work area to the next. The material support arms are adequate and slide out and in with relative ease.
I wish there were a system to ensure the saw was parallel with the base when mounted so your support arms didn't become out of plane with the saws fence.

Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase however if I had spent full retail I am not so sure that I would be.

EDIT: Please note that there are 3 Brands of this stand all made by TracRac. Research all three and compare prices prior to commiting to one brand or the other. Also, all the accessories are interchangeable.
1) Hitachi UU610 is the same stand minus the wheels.
2) Bosch T3 which you are looking at.
3) The TracRac 24322 T3 Professional is also the same stand but comes with extra extension stops.
