Did a lot of research on this, as I needed a stand for my new Skill 10" sliding compound miter saw. The Powertec, portable miter saw stand is well designed, well built, compact when not in use, and fits my saw perfectly. This Powertec stand appears to be nearly identical to a stand sold by Skill; what sold me on the Powerrtec version is the inclusion of three 110V outlets, which I have found to be very convenient. The stand has two quick-release bracket arms that hold the saw firmly in place. I intend to mount a "universal mounting base" to these arms and use the stand to support a router table, belt grinder, etc. I think this will free up a lot of floor space for me. The stand can support over 300 lbs and is more than stable enough for my needs, but I can't say it is rock solid (and I expect this is true for nearly all of these portable stands). Stop looking! Excellent piece of equipment, and excellent value, as well.
