Portable Miter Saw Stands Los Angeles CA

The miter saws weren't the only tools on the spot. We tested saw stands of the lightweight, folding-leg, sawhorse type; more elaborate convertible, collapsible, rolling stand designs; and a more stationary multipiece stand. Besides evaluating their use in the shop and on the job, we devised a jobsite obstacle course to see how fast one guy could set them up.

The miter saws weren't the only tools on the spot. We tested saw stands of the lightweight, folding-leg, sawhorse type; more elaborate convertible, collapsible, rolling stand designs; and a more stationary multipiece stand. Besides evaluating their use in the shop and on the job, we devised a jobsite obstacle course to see how fast one guy could set them up. It consisted of wrestling a stand out of the truck, rolling or carrying it across the lot and up some stairs, and adjusting all the extensions, supports, and the saw so it was ready to cut.

All the stands are definitely portable with obstacle course times ranging from 2-1/2 to 4 minutes. Those with bottom wheels and no extension legs were the quickest to reposition once in use.

Folding-Leg Sawhorse-Type Stands

The lightest to carry, these are best for a short stays or for climbing a lot of stairs. But they won't help you transport a heavy saw. The long throw of a big slider can make these stands feel tippier than larger models.

DeWalt DW723

A built-in handle makes this stand the easiest to carry without the saw. Mounting brackets bolted to the saw are easy to attach to the stand with quick-release locking levers. And the locking system for the legs makes this a sturdy stand. Adjustable-length extension arms have flip-up stops and a maximum span of 12 feet, 6 inches. Assembly time: 30 minutes.
