Hitachi UU610CZ 12-foot Miter Saw Stand Immediately


I bought this stand only because it was a Hitachi and was lighter than some others. Once assembled and the miter saw was mounted did I realize what a
mistake I made. This stand is Very unstable, do the point that sometimes you think it's tipping over. I've since replaced it with the ridgid stand from HD and its like night and day. Their stand is rock solid and a true performer but it is heavy. I may add that the ridgid stand is much cheaper too.

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.
