I've owned this stand for about a year now, with a 10" hitachi mitre saw mounted on it. It's seen a considerable amount of use. Reasonable performance for the price, but definitely has some weaknesses:

- the supports will flex - a 12' long 5/4x6 hardwood plank will cause the arms to flex by about an inch.
- easy to pull the arms all the way out - the stops are laughable
- tightening the screws that lock the arms in place puts little dents in the metal of the arms, and moves the arms about a lot between the "free" and "fixed" settings. Normally this isn't an issue, unless you're using the stop that's at the end of one of the arms, and need to reposition it slightly to make it just a hair longer or shorter. The dent that the screw puts in the arm causes the arm to try to relocate itself to the original position after you've nudged away. Likewise, loosening the screw sufficiently to permit free arm movement makes the arm really sag, and moves the stop around a lot.

on the plus side, it's pretty cheap, pretty rugged, and as long as you're not trying to do precision work, functions reasonably well. Next time though, I would probably shell out for something a bit beefier.

I recently purchased a Dewalt Compound Miter saw and was in need of a stand, so I started doing a little research. What I found out was this: 1. The Dewalt stand was expensive and not all of the parts were included with the stand. For example, miter saw mounts, which by the way were plastic, were almost $40. 2. Several of the pieces on the stand were made from plastic instead of steel or aluminum.

I ran across the StableMate Plus100, and found exactly what I was looking for. This stand is EXTREMELY well made from steel, and it is very stable. The miter saw mounts are adjustable and made from steel, as are all the other parts, including the material supports. It folds up and stores easily, and it looks as solid as it performs. Save yourself some money, and go with StableMate!

I recently received the Stable Mate Plus and unfortunately a couple pieces were missing because the box split in shipping. I called the toll-free number inside the box and the parts arrived two days later...Bravo for customer service. I love this sturdy stand that does not rock back when I let go of my DeWalt Compound Miter. I am an avid woodworker with a complete shop. I ordered the wheel set along with the stand. Everyone should do this because moving this stand around is a cinch when the wheels are attached and they dont detract from its stability. This is one of the sturdiest stands I have experienced and would recommend it to anyone. If someone is going to use this from job site to job site, you may want to think twice. This is a solid piece of equipment and the picture does not do justice. It will withstand abuse.

Aside from one missing $0.50 screw that I picked up at Home Depot, this product is great. Relatively easy to put together and very stable with a 12" compound miter saw. It does not rock or wobble in any direction. Highly recommend.

The Stablemate plus 100 is a well thought out saw stand its all galvanized steel except for a few well placed nylon plugs. I've been using this stand for 1 year. I have seen a lot of stands and used many this is my favorite. I'm a finish contractor of 30+ years. I have the Makita LS1013FL miter saw on this and stand now. On a big job with 3 or more saws set up this will be the most used.
Con: The right side support had to be heated and realigned. If this is beyond your scope you probably shouldn't be using this tool any way.
I bought the wheel, it's only one wheel. I wouldn't do that again.
