Great product [Posted on 2007-01-09]
I purchased this stand for use with the Makita LS1013FL. The packaging was excellent and arrived undamaged. The set up was a piece of cake and only took about 1 hour with minimal tools. Once set up the roller guides and support arms were adjusted to match the saw. I love the ease of use and portability. It is well made and easy to use. No complaints from this DIY.

FYI: TracRac's website says the T3 is made in the USA. Bought mine two months ago from Amazon and it was made in China. I have nothing against China, but we need to stop sending our manufacturing jobs overseas. I paid extra for the T3 because I thought I was supporting American jobs. Enough on that. The T3 is very sturdy and comfortable to use. I have my Hitachi C10FSH 10" sliding compound miter saw attached to it. It took me about an hour to mount the saw perfectly to the tool mount. The T3 comes with everything you need to mount the Hitachi saw, but I found that the two front mounting bolts were too long for the saw. This prevented the saw from being able to do 45 degree cuts. After trimming about half an inch off the two front bolts, the issue was resolved. A nice feature with the T3 is that it comes with feet for the tool mount. This allows you to use your saw on a bench or the floor with the tool mount still attached. You can buy additional tool mounts for your other saws and leave them permanently attached. Bosch sells an almost identical TracRac station as this one, but it doesn't come with a flip stop or feet for the tool mount.
Well designed [Posted on 2007-04-01]
Under a 12" DeWalt, the spread of the saw supports is about 23", too wide to use the stretcher between the supports. This is a heavy saw and the third support piece would have been nice. Very steady, well made.
I had a 3-Star Rating initially, but that was only due to the delay in shipping (from a 1/15/07 order date to the delivery date of 4/30/07. I'd give it a 4-Star rating now that it's here and assembled.
Beast with Flaws [Posted on 2007-06-13]
This thing is heavy duty. Don't plan on manhandling this stand with a heavy saw attached such as a Bosch 10" compound slider. That's why the wheels are so important but there's a catch. The wheels are small and narrowly spaced. They roll fine over fairly rough ground but if you hit a hole an inch or two deep the narrow wheel spacing can and will cause the whole thing to flip. In the legs-closed rolling mode it's top heavy and if you get that momentum going it's hard to stop it from turning over especially since you have no handle to give you any control or leverage! I can't believe the manufacturers have not provided a handle for this stand. The holes are already there at both ends to attach a simple handle that would make it so much easier to maneuver. I will be devising my own soon. Aonther idea I have been toying with is putting larger, wider spaced wheels on it. I think there is enough room and it would only require a slightly longer axle. That would help stability a great deal while rolling the stand. The rest of the stand works very well, and as I said, is heavy duty. Make sure the cam locks holding the saw are tightened securely or the saw can slide down the channel when you are rolling it. I agree that the assembly is rather fussy and time consuming and could have been made easier. The instructions are poor but what do you expect from China? Go on line and download the manual from TracRac. Once this thing is set up and in use it is an excellent stand and a beast.
