Product Description

Bosch expanded its patented and award-winning technology to develop and introduce the new Gravity-Rise T4B Portable Miter Saw Stand. Smart, durable and simple to use, professionals never need to worry about how to setup or carry their miter saw ever again. The T4B features the same Bosch-patented Gravity-Rise system as the industry's award winning TS2000 Gravity-Rise Table Saw Stand. Unlike other miter saw stands, the Bosch Gravity-Rise system is practically effortless and allows for rapid set-up and breakdown in seconds. With a simple turn of the release lever and the user's guidance, the weight and balance smoothly raises the heavy-gauge steel and aluminum constructed stand and saw into working position. Set the leveling feet for uneven terrain and professionals are ready to get to work. Turn the same release lever again, and the entire stand folds into a push cart design, complete with 8-inch pneumatic wheels, perfect for transporting the saw over rough terrain from one location to the next. The T4B utilizes an aluminum support rail and special Universal Rapid-Release Tool Mounts designed to attach to the base of all Bosch and most competitors' miter saws. These mounts allow any user to quickly attach or detach the saw to the stand. And rubber feet prevent scratches when placing the tool on a cabinet top or bench. The same support rails expand for 18-feet total material support, the highest among fully portable units. For users cutting long pieces of molding or flooring, this kind of support is priceless. Adjustable repetitive stops and table supports also allow the stand to adapt to varying applications and saws.

5.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect Saw Stand, September 15, 2007

This review is from: Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

I tested 15 miter saw stands for Fine Homebuilding magazine and the Bosch is one of my top choices. It has a wide rail body with quick connecting saw mounts. Once the mounts are bolted to your miter saw base, you can quickly snap the saw on and off the stand. The mounts have padded feet so you can rest it on a bench or floor surface.
The work extension arms are on the short side and have no separate support legs but the stand is broad and stable. The meduim diameter pneumatic wheels make it easy to pull the saw over rough jobsite terrain and up stairs. Opening and closing the system is the simplest of all saw stands I tested. Just release the small cam lever to unlock the stabilizing bar and turn the operating handle while the stand is in the upright - storage - position. A foot placed on the axle bar stabilizes the base. Gently lower the handle and the saw rail rises up to work height in one fluid motion. The stand rests on a wide bar when in the upright storage position. The bar is has a large footprint so it balances the stand with the saw mounted better than other models. You can see a 10 min video on saw stands and see how the Bosch works. http://www.taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/video/miter-saw-stands-tool-review.aspx?ac=fp

This review is from: Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is quite simply the best miter saw stand available today. The only other contenders for this title are possibly the Delta 36-136, the Trojan MS-2000, the Trojan TWC-35, and the Ridgid MS-UV. So what makes the Bosch better than the also-rans? Let me tell you:

Delta 36-136 - This is a nice stand, but it was not sufficiently stable for my saw. In addition, the wheels were flimsy and prone to getting stuck in mud.

Ridgid MS-UV - This stand is good, however it does not setup as quickly as the Bosch, and storing a heavy saw on this stand when it is folded up takes up a lot of space.

Trojan MS2000 - This stand is basically the Ridgid MS-UV on steroids, and is the closest contender to the Bosch. It is heavy duty, but it does not set up as quickly as the Bosch, and it has the same storage issues as the Ridgid.

Trojan TWC35 - This stand isn't a cart stand, so it isn't as portable, however, it is the sturdiest and most heavy duty of the stands. If speed, elbow grease and storage space aren't issues, then it beats everything else.

Bosch T4B - It's tougher than everything but the Trojan TWC35. It sets up and breaks down faster than anything else out there. You can store the whole system in the upright folded position, so it saves space. It has great wheels, and a quick disconnect feature to remove the saw from the stand. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it's made in China.

*****Update (3/26/2009)*****
I've had it about a year, and it's still going strong. The only maintenance it has required is that I had to air up the tires. One thing I haven't done yet but would recommend doing is considering replacing the inflatable rubber wheels with flat-free wheels. Right now, I'm having to worry about running over nails and sharp objects which slows me down, and when the wheels go flat, this thing gets really difficult to move.

This review is from: Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter Saw Stand (Tools & Home Improvement)

This stand is amazingly well designed. Like others already commented, it folds and unfolds very fluidly and confidently. The fit and finish of the parts exhudes Bosch quality.

When folded, it is reallly compact and manoeuvrable. When set up, it's extremely sturdy and stable. There is no slop in any of the joints once it's properly assembled, except the kick-bar which spins too freely to my taste. The outfeed supports are nice and beefy, with nice integrated pop-up stops. The construction of mounting bars for the miter saw itself is very nice. You can just attatch them to the saw and leave them on. They clamp onto the stand really easily and quickly. If you have to, you can take the saw aff and transport it around with the bars attached because they have smooth bottom surfaces and aren't likely to scratch anything.

It comes very well and thoughtfully packed. No shipping damage of any kind to the parts. Bosch pretests this product by actually fully assembling and disassemmbling this product before packing and shipping. The assembly took me about 45 minutes. I purchased it, by the way, from CPO Tools, who contuinue to have a better price and are known for their great service.

The only caveat I have to bring up: this stand is HEAVY. A whopping 77 lbs of tubing and cast steel. Keep that in mind if you're planning to be taking it up and down the stairs, or loading manually in the trunk without a ramp.
