I don't understand why some said this was difficult to assemble, it took less then an hour. I really like how flexiable it sets up for new jobs. The quick dismounting system for saw, including legs to use the saw quickly on a bench or table, nice touch. I give this stand a thumbs up!

When I purchased this stand the T4B stand was not available. I have used the table saw stand similar to the T4B for several years and love it. I even get comments from friends about how nice that it is.

For storage purposes, the T3B is ridiculous. I have the Bosch 10" Miter Saw and you could not set the stand upright easily without it falling over. The T4B does not have that problem and the saw is very balanced on it.

You will regret not spending the extra to buy the T4B in the long run.
Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand

I got the stand as part of a package deal with the Bosch 12" compound slider, which I use for interior and exterior trim work, and particularly wooden gutters. Properly balanced and set-up and using an accessory roller stand, the base easily handles the range of 18 to 40 foot lengths of stock I work with. It also provides good support for coping cuts, adding returns, chopping wells, drilling thimble holes and adding lead flashing. One thing I have added is a tool tray which interlocks on the extension arms to hold tools, chisels, etc.

Because the saw is carried on and off the jobsite daily, the wheels and portability are critical. I have found it is easier to control by holding the legs extended, like a wheelbarrow. Going over rough ground is not as bad as one would expect, but the big problem I was having was that the locking caps on the wheels kept pulling off and this tended to bend the bracket. The problem was the hardness of the axle preventing the locking caps from getting a good hold. While I could have changed the axle for softer steel, I decided to stay with the stainless and drill out holes for cotter pins and washers to hold the wheels on the azle. This has solved the problem

Made in China. Poor design, Bosch saw cuts in manufacturing costs and quality...... All in all performs satisfactory..

I am both lazy and new to woodworking, and I'm already planning on replacing this thing. I am a big fan of Bosch stuff - it typically just has a neat feel to it that lets you know they put a lot of thought into the usability of their products.

In this case, as other readers have mentioned, this thing was a pain in the neck to put together. In the end it is flimsy and the adjustments lack the ingenuity and refinement I expect from Bosch. You are without a doubt better off throwing something together with a sturdy base and cleverly configured stops.

If you really need something like this for portability (outdoors or on-site), you might be better off with a sturdier multi-purpose stand and repeatable cutting jig. This thing just does not make the grade.
