Also, the side rollers, though a nice feature are difficult to align because you must adjust them front and back instead of at one central point. I don't think I would buy it if I needed to move it frequently. The stand works reasonably well once you have it setup. I use mine in a workshop and don't knock it down or move it around much so it works well as a fixed platform. Finally, be careful, there are many pinch points on this stand. However the center support is difficult to align when your trying to erect the stand. I had trouble with it before I attached the saw to the table, can't imagine trying to do this with the saw attached.
Everything else about the Trojan is golden. It's all about what your willing to give up. I have had the Trojan Miter Saw Stand for about three years. If all your going to use it for is interior trim carpentry, You have found your tool. If you need something stouter, the trade off is portability. slider and cut exterior fascia boards, Redwood decking, or anything 2x in long lengths, you should look for something a little more stout. If you use a separate roller stand beyond the wings your problems are solved, but then you have to carry another tool.
The Trojan is extremely well made and has the best design I have found. How cool is that.
If you need to mount your big 12 in. It folds up compact and easily, and rolls like a hand truck back to the truck.
I have found it to be very good for some tasks and a little weak for others. Bolt the saw to it, adjust the table height(once), unfold the wings, and cut your trim.
Hope This Helps, Derek Door casings, Crown, Baseboards, Chair rail, the Trojan handles them with ease.
It is the wings that get weaker the further you extend them.
I just use it with the saw sitting on it, I do keep some small Bessey clamps on it to clamp the tool down if you prefer. Also the ability to move it around on the job site by yourself is quite handy. Works great with my planer as well. I like this stand better than others I've used just due to the fact of the ladder design which catches the wood when you cut it. The stand is a bit heavy compared with others but the big pneumatic wheels help quite a bit with that.
It fit perfectly, just didn't need the extensions. I own two Dewalt miter saws, I ordered one of these stands for one of my saws after reading reviews on Amazon. This is brilliantly designed as a sturdy self contained unit that meets all your needs as a miter saw stand. I do like to have the best, and I believe the Trojan is the best available.
It takes up little space considering the job it does, and is even attractive (not that that is necessary). I've researched all the stands, and this is an amazing unit. You don't have to carry any extra parts along as you take this to the work site, it's all together. Just the ease of getting set up so fast with such a useful product helps pay for it in a hurry.
It is easy to level the extensions. It is strong and so far very durable. This day I received this stand and checked it out, I immediately ordered another one for my other saw. We cut 16' trim pieces with this stand all the time with no problems with either end.
This is easy to transport, and I've not remvoved the saws at all except once when I used one the stands for stand for my large tile saw. It sets up or takes down in seconds. I did bolt on wood blocks to raise the saw table to the same level as the rollers and extensions.
Lots of adjustements possible. nasty pinches and blood blisters from set up and transport.Very poor packaging, arrived damaged and no number to call.Suggest makers further refine. Does however have advantages including larger wheels compared to other make.
