Portamate Miter Saw Stand Work Station 400 Lbs Max Weight Portable Rolling Table Saw Stand Workbench with Folding Wing Extensions Miter Saw Stands PM-8000

I needed a saw stand for my Hercules 12 in.dual-bevel sliding miter saw that I use in my shop and also just on my property. This stand has been awesome! It works double, actually triple duty, with its left and right extension tables that I use with both the work-table mode and the miter-saw mode. I won't ever have to load the stand in and out of the bed of a truck, it's not transport friendly. Assembly was a bit tricky... care needed to be taken before tightening major pieces so that the whole unit was "square." Starting out on a flat and level floor I took a lot of extra time making sure that the face/front and (seperately) the top diagonals matched (were the same length to within 1/16 inch). This was tedious to do, but when all the screws were tightened up the rotating top worked very well. The collapsable handle is just okay, it's a handful to raise and lower and other than that I think the "plastic" table rotation locks (located at each of the 4 corners of the rotating table) should be made of steel. Still a fantastic, functional, and super space efficient addition to my workshop.

This table/workstation is amazing! I picked up a DeWalt DWS780 miter saw and wanted a place to plant it in my garage/workshop. The saw had all the features I was after, but it was a bit heavier and larger than I expected so the hunt began for a worktable. I am so glad I found this Bora Portamate because it couldn't be a better match for this particular saw set-up. I'll admit that it just barely fit onto the table's mounting brackets, but I could not be happier with the way it works. Assembly was ok. The manufacturer provided the necessary allen head wrenches, so I just needed my socket set to complete the assembly tool list. The pieces all went together easily. They are fairly heavy sections as this table is very well made. Pay particular attention to aligning the moveable tabletop ahead of tightening the support brackets so it rotates freely and lines up with the locking tabs. Once assembled and after mounting my miter saw, I was very impressed with how smooth the travel was when the saw and tabletop were released to flip upside-down into the storage position. The side wing tables operated very well with a solid hold when raised into position. Once you adjust the raised sections for a matching height you are ready to go and you've got a good size working space. (No more stretching out your leg to catch that cut-off piece before it hits the floor!) If you are tight on space and you only need to work material from one side, simply drop one side or leave both sides down when small work is being processed. The handle's raising and lowering process is a bit tricky for two hands to manage but it does work and the locks the handle settles into are very positive. The wheels carry the load easily so I can roll it right into place for working or to tuck it neatly away. I don't see this being anything I'd roll onto a jobsite unless I invested in a low towable trailer as I wouldn't be able to roll this up a ramp into the back of my work truck. I see it as something I'll be keeping in my garage/workshop with the ability to move it easily out into my driveway or backyard but not rolling it around town. Great product, super durable, and a grand addition to my workshop!

Highly recommend this product. I read a lot of reviews before buying, and it's true about the packaging. Mine arrived with the outer (Amazon) box actually untaped (the tape had popped) but inside was the product box which was fine. There was one foot with a small chip of paint missing, but nothing was bent or broken and I was able to assemble it without having to fix any dents. I now understand why the packaging is such an issue as this is a strong heavy beefy product, and it's HEAVY. The cart itself works really well. I use it for my compound miter saw, and when not using that, I use it as an outfeed table for my table saw. I also use it as an assembly table when needed. I was able to adjust it so the wings are perfectly level with the table, and the pop-up material support pieces are perfectly level with my installed saw. Its a DREAM to cut 2x4's on this table compared to how I did it before, always trying to rig-up some kind of material supports from sawhorses. One added benefit is the wings have dog-holes in them, which are great for using the unit as an assembly table, and since the wings fold-down and LOCK, it's also a great way to SIDE support things you're trying to assemble, because when the wings are folded down, the dog-holes are on the side of the unit. It was a bit fiddly to setup, but that's because it's very universal, so the rails you mount the saw on, and the wings and the material supports all need to be adjustable so you can dial them in to your particular saw. I decided to buy this instead of trying to build one myself and I'm glad I did that. It would be nice if it was a bit less expensive, but I wouldn't want to give-up any of the features, or have them make it any less strong, so as it is it's a good value. My only complaint would be that it's a bit fiddly to assemble the unit so the rotating table/saw holder is square to the sides, which is needed for the latches to hold the table when in position. Just not sure how you'd make that easier to assemble while keeping the flexibility you need to square everything up. Very glad I bought this, already super happy with how its working, and if I knew then what I know now, I'd definitely have bought it sooner.

Good strong bit of kit

Never used it yet. Husband thinks it’s awesome though

Super Teil. Werde es als Tisch für Dickenhobel verwenden.

very good and shipping very fastè

THE BORA PORTAMATE. FANTASTIIC VALUE FOR THE PRICE AND I FOUND IT SIMPLE TO ASSEMBLE. ONLY PROBLEM THAT I HAD WAS WITH THE SWIVEL TABLE AS AT FIRST IT DID NOT LOCK EVENLY WITH THE LOCKING LEVERS, BUT I SOLVED THAT WITH DOING A 180DEG WITH THE TABLE TOP WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. STURDY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EXCEPT THAT THE LOCKING LEVERS TO LOCK THE SWIVEL TABLE IN PLACE ARE PLASTIC...REALLY? THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE FROM METAL, SO THAT IS MY MAIN WORRY...WHAT HAPPENS IF THESE FLIMSY PLASTIC LOCKING LEVERS BREAK? I USE AN EINHELL TC-SM2534/1 DUAL DRAG MITRE SAW AND I LIKE HOW COMPACT IT ALL IS WHEN FOLDED. JUST ROLLS AGAINST THE WALL OUT OF THE WAY. SAW IS ROTATED UNDERNEATH FOR STORAGE. WHEN SAW IS FOLDED UNDERNEATH IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THE TABLE TOP AVAILABLE FOR OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL. SIDE ARMS EASILY ADJUST AND IF YOU CHANGE SAWS, WILL ONLY TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO INSTALL NEW SAW AND ADJUST THE ARMS FOR THE CORRECT HEIGHT FOR THE NEW SAW. ALSO FANTASTIC THAT WITH THE SIDE ARMS EXTENDED, GIVES 7 FEET OF SUPPORT FOR THE WOOD. MY ONLY CRITICISM IS TO SEE BORA USE METAL LOCKING LEVERS FOR ROTATING TABLE INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. APART FROM THAT, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TABLE IS WELL DESIGNED, SOLID, STURDY AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE USING IT WITH MY EINHELL MITRE SAW.
