I just expected more from Hitachi, especially for $240. It's that having to do this work is totally unnecessary and would add $10 to the price.In the end, a pretty good universal saw stand, once you suffer through the assembly. This is compounded by the fact that the directions are awful, pictures, no words. Wrong. *good leg folding mechanism.*work supports and stop are pretty goodminuses:*IMO, doesn't really work with the C10FSH.
This problem can easily be fixed with a plywood adaptor, and I'll probably make one. It's not that the assembly is *hard* - it's not. You can't position the saw to balance it properly.*this is really an erector set that looks like a miter saw stand when you're finished. I bought this UU610 to work with a Hitachi C10FSH.pros:*pretty stable. Personally, I think it is stupid to have the customer spend a couple of hours doing what the factory could do in 5 minutes.
I guess I assumed that Hitachi would design the stand to fit properly with Hitachi saws.
I use my DeWalt 10" mitre saw which seems like a perfect marriage with this stand. Being tossed in the bed of my pickup probably caused more damage to my truck bed than to this thing. It is surprisingly light weight for the sturdiness, strength and durability it has.I had looked at many others, and even compare it to others at job sites and still have not found one that I thought was better. The stand has worked better than expected. I highly reccomend this product. I can certainly say it is built very well with strong locking legs, a sturdy top frame and arm extensions.
This one today still performs as well as the day i got it. I bought this stand a few years back on Amazon and am now reviewing it. I have taken it on many jobs doing work with Habitat for Hummanity, as well as use it in my shop and at home. I was worried the saw might be too much for this stand, but I was wrong.
Purchased this stand about a year ago and should have returned it but I didn't. This is a very wobbly stand and not sturdy enough to work safely with.The ridgid stand is much more solid,although heavy,but well worth the money.This stand is definitely not worth $219.The ridgid stand is on sale now for $99
Isn't life grand. Guess What. Just bought the Hitachi UU610 stand (Tracrac). Didn't think the wheel kit or the entension stop were necessary. Both add-ons are included in the box.
Has wheels so you can leave the saw on and transportdown side of it.1. came with wheels but no handle (though a standard cabinet handle lines up, all I had to do was use a spacer so you can get your hand on it)to sum up.if you want light weight, fast, light, easy setup and brake down get the dewaltIf you want a nice stable shop stand that you can move if needed, If you can set up on a site in one place, get this. (lost a saw on Dewalts do to not fully locked in)3. arm in or out.
fairly hard to get built - setup first time.(plan on a better part of a day)2. when you unlock it the arm twists/sags so the material isn't flat.3. Good for Long term set up. getting to the locks on the arms can be a pain if you have the ext set so the lock is under the saw. 10" slider stays in place.2. fairly heavy duty.
not so good for daily set up and brake down. The locking system is faster and safer than Dewalt's. can't leave extensions unlocked because they sag. Hard to find one on back.4. It's an ok unit. very heavy.On the up side.1.This thing is solid.
May times while working I need to quickly slide the ext.
