Hitachi UU610 Universal Miter Saw Stand


I bought this UU610 to work with a Hitachi C10FSH.
pros:
*pretty stable.
*good leg folding mechanism.
*work supports and stop are pretty good
minuses:
*IMO, doesn't really work with the C10FSH. 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. Personally, I think it is stupid to have the customer spend a couple of hours doing what the factory could do in 5 minutes. This is compounded by the fact that the directions are awful, pictures, no words. It's not that the assembly is *hard* - it's not. 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. I guess I assumed that Hitachi would design the stand to fit properly with Hitachi saws. Wrong. This problem can easily be fixed with a plywood adaptor, and I'll probably make one. I just expected more from Hitachi, especially for $240.Get more detail about Hitachi UU610 Universal Miter Saw Stand.
