there is no hight adjustment.basicly what i am saying the folding feature is useless for me. Let me start of with my tablesaw model 315.228390 craftsman the tablesaw is heavy.That is why i bought the TS 2000stand. In the complete folded position the stand tips over.The bar should be longer to prevent this.So there goes the space safeing feature.furthermore i am a short person. a solid stand would work just fine. bosch does not inform consumers that there are limitations with this stand.seriously thinking of returning it.HGW
When collapsed it is easy to wheel it around, but it has to be wrestled through the door. Works fine.
(I use it in my garage, which is on the same level as my basement workshop). Wanted a wheeled table saw stand that was easier to get into and out of my workshop.
I screwed a piece of three-quarter plywood to the stand, and then mounted my Craftsman saw to the plywood. The Bosch is very sturdy, and raises and lowers very easily.
Be aware, however, that you may not be able to directly mount your saw to this stand. My only complaint is that the stand is too wide to fit through a 36 inch door when in the raised position; it must be collapsed.
If I had known this before buying, I still probably would have bought this model, because all wheeled stands are either a similar width, or seemed poorly built (Craftsman).
I bought this stand seperatly from the Bosch 4000 table saw (which is also a great product). I can lift the separate saw and carry it, and I can lift the stand and carry it, but together I haven't even tried.
The whole unit feels solid as a tank. The wheels are large and rugged enough I can pull it through the yard without any difficulty.
Bosch really hit a home run with this stand, it is mostly heavy gauge aluminum, what parts are not aluminum are heavy-duty parts which can withstand any kind of abuse. In fact, it will probably work with many other models - there are six "sets" of mounting holes so one of these, some combination of them (or if you are adventurous, drill your own) will almost certainly work with your table saw.If I had to find a negative, which would be a hard thing to do, I could only say that once you put the saw on this stand, it becomes a very heavy piece of equipment.
Raising and lowering a very heavy table saw is almost effortless - if someone stole it I would buy another one and accept no substitute. Even if you don't have a Bosh table saw, the manual for the TS2000 indicates it will work with: Dewalt DW744, Craftsman 21830, Makita 2703, Hitachi C10RA2, or the Ridgid TS2400LS.
For me, this hasn't been an issue, but if I was (for example) lifting it in and out of a pickup truck bed all the time I'd have to use a ramp. however the saw and the stand a
Smooth folding. There are predrilled holes for a few other brands as well.
The picture does no justice to how well built and stable this stand is. This stand is great.
When adding my Bosch 4100 to the top, the height is just right for getting to work. The strong build makes the stand a bit heavy to be throwing it into the back of a truck with a saw on it, but I guess that's the price you pay.
The tires are large enough to do a little off-roading with your saw. You'll need some 4.5 inch bolts, washers and lock nuts to mount the Bosch 4100 to it.
Love every bit of it.
This table is one of the best "utility" items that I have in my shop. If it has a down side the only one that I can find is the overall width and the inability to fit through a doorway. It was a purchase that I made as soon as I found out that it was available. Unfortunately I had to adapt it to fit my Dewalt 10" Table Saw but with a few adjustments the table now does a fine job. To accommplish this the saw must be removed from the table and then the table folded up. I have not done this more than 2 or 3 times since I purchased it but I may have tried to move it more often if the width was more accommodating.
