BORA Universal Miter Saw Stand with Quick Release Tool Mounting System- Portable Miter Saw Stand 500 Lbs Max Weight Load - 34-inch Height with Outrigger Arms Up to 114 Inches - PM-4000, Orange

Miter saw was sitting on a table, not bolted down, not a good setup. So was in the market for a reasonably-priced miter saw stand with outriggers to support the wood being cut. The BORA universal miter saw stand is well-designed. The legs fold down into place and lock well. The mounting system for the saw is well-thought-out and easy to install. The outriggers are adequate from a usage perspective and can extend to a total of around 8 feet or so from side to side. The manual could use a bit better detail. It wasn't clear if the mounting platforms should be set on the stand first and then the saw mounted to it. As it turned out, it was way easier to attach the mounting arms to the saw and then attach the saw to the table. We didn't need them, but mounting adapters and the appropriate bolts are included in case your saw's mounting bolts aren't in a rectangular pattern, a nice touch. The finish seems to be applied well and the stand feels very sturdy. We don't intend to move it now that it is set up, but it seems very easy to remove the saw (by squeezing a couple of levers on the mounting arms) and fold up the legs into a small and light package for transport. Overall, the Bora stand is a nicely-made product at a very reasonable price relative to other products in the market.

Great product. Quick easy assembly. Lightweight but strong and durable. Holds my 12" slide mitre without any problem.

I'm a homeowner who recently bought a sliding compound miter saw to do some baseboard replacement. I first clamped my new saw to the top of my ancient B & D Workmate. That worked OK, but... ...then I bought this stand, and it's made the job much easier. The PM-4000 is rock solid, the extensions to support the lumber are simple but work fine, and it's great that the miter saw (once you bolt it to the brackets) can mount to the rails or be detached in just a few seconds. Assembling the stand was next to nothing; the only fiddly business was bolting the saw to the mounting brackets, and that really wasn't much to do. When the day is done, I take the saw off, and fold the stand for storage in my tool shed. I guess this stand might not be the best choice for a professional carpenter, but for a DIY guy like me it's great. IMHO/IME it's excellent value for the money.

I bought this stand for use with a Porter Cable 12" compound miter saw; model 3802. This PortaMate stand supports the large, heavy saw very well. Even outdoors on sloping ground simply leveling the stand as needed, such as with a 2x4 under the legs on the low side, will achieve adequate stability. The saw mounting brackets included allow for quick setup and quick breakdown once attached with the bolts provided, and they fit my saw with no problem. I've been using the stand on a project where I am enclosing 2 acres with solid top rail fencing over varied terrain. As you can imagine I have to constantly move the cutting station as I work my way along the perimeter which is approx. 2,000 ft., hauling the stand, saw, gas generator, and other necessary tools in the back of a pickup. This new stand makes the job much easier, replacing two sets of saw horses and related boards, etc. to support the saw. Hauling all this around for fencing may seem like a lot of trouble, but I am kind of a perfectionist and the big 12" miter saw is perfect for making precise end cuts on the 4" round rails to fit between the posts. (Yes, I average the top rail slope over the span of several posts to smooth out the appearance.) The support arms which slide out on each side are about adequate to support the weight of an 8 ft. 2x4 or 2x6, depending how wet the board is, nothing more. My fence rails are much heavier, so I am using roller stands. In the final assessment I would definitely recommend this product. It is sturdy, very portable, easy to setup, made in USA, and well worth the price. Just be prepared to use roller stands with heavier material.

One day I plan to build a really cool rolling workbench that will have my miter saw, table saw, and a router station all included. But in the meantime, this portable miter saw stand works great. I love how wide the support arms go, and the setup and tear down is very quick and easy. The biggest issue was connecting the brackets to the base of the miter saw, but there was a lot of adjustment, so it fit perfectly. The stand and saw combination is very stable for cutting lots of different kinds of material. The stand folds down to an easily portable size that will easily fit in the trunk of a car. You might struggle more fitting your table saw in the car than this stand! I have been super pleased with it and use it a lot - highly recommended.

This miter saw stand is perfect and it arrived very quickly! I ordered it late Thursday night and it arrived on Saturday morning. The quality is quite good and setup is a cinch! Amazon and Affinity Tools must have been listening to customers because mine arrived packed in a second box (the actual Bora box was in perfect condition), there was plenty of protection inside the Bora box, and everything appears to be in good order. "Fit and finish" of the stand is very good - nothing crooked; nothing out of whack; no scratches, etc. Those reviewers who say this is difficult to set up probably shouldn't be using a miter saw because it couldn't be easier. It took me all of 3 minutes. There's really nothing difficult about this at all. You lift up the legs which snap in place securely, you add the extension racks, a few knobs, and then attach the saw mounts (which are spring loaded and attach quickly and easily). All you do next is attach your saw to the mounts. There's nothing more to it. It's sturdy and it's well made. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat this, and from what I see from the reviews, HTC (Affinity Tools) will take care of any problem you might have. If you're hesitating, don't. I'm very critical and very picky, and I can tell you, this is a darned good buy! UPDATE: I set up my 10” Hitachi saw using the extension plates, and then proceeded to cut a few hundred feet of pressure treated lumber for a deck I’m redoing. This stand was a pleasure to use and the height of the saw was perfect. Excellent stand!!

I've been looking for a cheap, sturdy, no frills miter saw stand for a month or so. I finally pulled the trigger on this Bora after I got tired of my DeWalt DW-780 miter saw sitting on the floor all the time. I can now store my shop vac and some other stuff underneath this and reclaim a little space. Overall, after unboxing and minor assembly, the quality of this seems above-average for what I would expect at this price point. Okay, so I would have liked wheels, but I'd rather decent quality and pay less and add my own wheels later, so this suits me well. Small niggles - the paint is reasonably thin, and once you install your saw, tightening the screws down will probably scrape through the paint. I also imagine it will chip off with time if moved frequently. However, the general sturdiness and function is decent, so I'm not going to complain. Also, one of the support arms doesn't quite fit into the main rail it is stored in. I'm fairly sure if I get a rasp and file the swarf or solder spatter off the inside of the tube, it will slide in like the first one did. Also, before installing the saw, the legs weren't quite all flat on the floor. With the weight of the saw on top of this all evened out. I may yet make some screw-out leveling leveling feet to fit inside the tube legs, but that's a project for another day. Things I like: - Price - Sturdines - the way the legs swing out for a larger footprint when down, yet come back up in line with the thinner saw mounting rails. - The support arms are almost un-noticeable once stowed yet give you a good six-ish extra feet of wingspan to support whatever you are cutting. Really useful when working on your own - The mounting hardware includes three different lengths of bolts to accommodate different thicknesses of miter saw bed. - Instructions are clear, and printed in well written English. With pictures. The first time I fitted the saw to the mounting rails, I mounted the saw too far forward, and had to loosen all the bolts and slide it backwards. There is some tomfoolery involved in getting the bolts clear of the clips and handles underneath. Or least, there is when you use the upside down. I didn't cotton onto the square shoulder underneath the head to begin with. It was only after my second fitting of the saw, I looked at the instructions and realized they needed to be the other way up such that the square shoulder lined up with the square cutout in the mounting rails. *Sigh*. Having written this review, I can now go and remove them all, and reinstall them the correct way up. If I'd done it the right way the first time I also wouldn't have needed to cut one down with the grinder. Hopefully this will save someone else from making the same mistake! Overall, I think this is a good buy for the price. Maybe when I get a proper shop I will graduate to a fancier setup with built in dust collection, but for my current apartment setup, this will suffice.

Better than expected! Well designed,Well built! If you're looking for a lightweight portable miter saw stand. This was a bargain on black Friday. It's Worth full price.
