Works like a champ

I have an older Hitachi Chop sw and the unit worked perfectly. The only issue was I required an additional bolt for a 4 hole anchoring which was required on the unit, unlike the customary 3 hole anchoring, to which they furnish the hardware. Hopefully they start including this mounting bolt in future kits. Other than that I am very pleased.

Beast with Flaws

2007-06-12
This thing is heavy duty. Don't plan on manhandling this stand with a heavy saw attached such as a Bosch 10" compound slider. That's why the wheels are so important but there's a catch. The wheels are small and narrowly spaced. They roll fine over fairly rough ground but if you hit a hole an inch or two deep the narrow wheel spacing can and will cause the whole thing to flip. In the legs-closed rolling mode it's top heavy and if you get that momentum going it's hard to stop it from turning over especially since you have no handle to give you any control or leverage! I can't believe the manufacturers have not provided a handle for this stand. The holes are already there at both ends to attach a simple handle that would make it so much easier to maneuver. I will be devising my own soon. Aonther idea I have been toying with is putting larger, wider spaced wheels on it. I think there is enough room and it would only require a slightly longer axle. That would help stability a great deal while rolling the stand. The rest of the stand works very well, and as I said, is heavy duty. Make sure the cam locks holding the saw are tightened securely or the saw can slide down the channel when you are rolling it. I agree that the assembly is rather fussy and time consuming and could have been made easier. The instructions are poor but what do you expect from China? Go on line and download the manual from TracRac. Once this thing is set up and in use it is an excellent stand and a beast.

Well designed

Under a 12" DeWalt, the spread of the saw supports is about 23", too wide to use the stretcher between the supports. This is a heavy saw and the third support piece would have been nice. Very steady, well made.

I had a 3-Star Rating initially, but that was only due to the delay in shipping (from a 1/15/07 order date to the delivery date of 4/30/07. I'd give it a 4-Star rating now that it's here and assembled.

The TracRac T3 is a remarkably rugged and versatile workstation, with all the functionality required by the professional contractor. The T3 has been redesigned from the ground up, with a focus on increased cutting capacity. The result is a 9.5 ft cutting capacity to the stop. The system comes with a cam lock saw mount which fits all miter and chop saws, two extension arms, two cam action work supports, one rotary stop, one extension stop and a wheel kit. While the wheels make it portable, its 4 1/2 ft retractable length allows it to fit easily in a pick up bed. The T3's rugged aluminum construction supports 20 feet of material and has a capacity of 500 lbs. It is engineered to deliver!

Great product

I purchased this stand for use with the Makita LS1013FL. The packaging was excellent and arrived undamaged. The set up was a piece of cake and only took about 1 hour with minimal tools. Once set up the roller guides and support arms were adjusted to match the saw. I love the ease of use and portability. It is well made and easy to use. No complaints from this DIY.

Purchased this saw bench from Amazon almost 2 years ago. Along with the work station I purchased a 15" hitachi chop saw. I invistigated extensivly both products and this station was the only one that would marry up to a saw that size. I am a commerical contract Glazier and my material comes in 24' lenghts. Some of these extrusions can weigh up to 200 lbs. Fabricating in the feild has never been easier.

As far as putting this thing together if you follow the instructions to a tee you should spend no more than 2 hours putting it together. Would recomend this product to the novice home owner to the heaviest commericial contractor.

Worth every penny

I would like a handle to but can do with out one . The assembly took about two hours a little longer than I would have liked but that OK .I got it for my bosch 4412 slider and it works perfect .I would recommend it for any pro .I think I'm going to buy their vice and router table next.

Despite a couple of things, I think the workstation will be as advertised.

Package arrived in good condition. As I opened the box one thing was apparent and that was "sure is bigger than I thought it would be". Truly "Heavy Duty". I had throughly checked it out on the internet prior to purchase, even went as far as making a copy of the instructions. This morning when I took it out of the box I just set the boxed instructions aside, I had a copy and didn't think I would need them. About the first line of the assembly instructions reads "Remove both end caps" while all the time showing a picture of the axle and wheels. Well the end caps are already off the axle, so after a couple more steps I decide to look at the new instructions, what a difference.

Two complaints; no handle and small wheels. Let's face it, you aren't gonna roll it around on gravel or in the dirt. One other thing - More written instructions instead of just pictures would help for those of us who are impaired in that direction.

I would highly recommend this workstation.
