These mounts fit both my Makita 10" sliding miter saw and my Delta benchtop planer, allowing me to swap them out as needed. The only downsides are the plastic end caps occasionally pop off and I suspect they are made in China.

Another reviewer mentioned HTC being out of business. Out of curiosity, I called the toll free # on their website (www.htcproductsinc.com) and got a a normal "regular business hours" message (called at 22:30 EAS). Does this mean they're in business? Who knows, but at least the phone isn't disconnected.

If you have more than one tool that could be used on your PortaMate, I recommend picking up a set of these for each, as it sure speeds tool setup and tear down.

the unit works just fine. I was supprised how firmly they could hold a 12 inch miter saw.

I did notice a small problem, they are very fragile. One got knocked off the workbench and

the black plastic arm which you use to attach or release the mount broke. It fell about 40

inches not all that far really. Except for the one that broke,I am very happy with this

product.

One of my Husbands old mounts broke so bought these to replace old one, works great now, sure is nice to be able to remove the saw and not worry about it falling off. Thanks !

We have been looking for these for some time and were thrilled to receive them in record time so we could put them to good use. Thanks

You cannot really write a review for this product without talking about the PortaMate PM7000 HTC PM7000 Portamate Miter Saw & Power Tool Work Center, a product I am very happy with. The extra machine mounts allow me to have additional bench mounted tools at the ready for mounting on my PortaMate.

Any one who owns the PM 7000 has to get the extra mounts so you can get the most out of your stand, currently I'm using my stands (have two) for my thickness planer, scroll saw, mini lathe, bench sanders etc, this is one great addition to anyone's shop, if you have the PM 7000 that is, I just order another set of mounts for my band saw....Highly recommended....

HTC seems to have gone out of business. The phone number listed in the product manual and on their web site are no longer in service. If your tool as offset holes (not in straight line) the you need kit J-104 that allegedly can be ordered from HTC. However, the number has been disconnected. This is unfortunate because I really wanted the PM7000 but this little snafu severely decreases the products versatility. I wonder how long these mounts will be available?

Extends the versatility of the PortaMate. Ideal for anyone who has a small shops with limited bench space or takes their tools to the job site.
