Thread: Review: Ozito Mitre Saw Stand

Thanks for the review.

I have the same stand with a different brand on it, purchased for much the same price. Mine had one roller slightly out of level across its length but some careful adjustment with a large hammer fixed that.

A useful item and a good review. Now can someone design a dust collector that will attach somehow.

While designed for mitre saws or SCMSs, you can also mount a thicknesser on the stand and use the rollers as infeed and outfeed supports for longer pieces of timber. I am thinking of getting a second one for that purpose.

I found your review more than interesting! Im going to my local Bunnings outlet tomorrow, for a closer inspection.

I like the idea of mounting a thicknesser on the stand! I have your every day standard GMC thicknesser! What is the maximum allowable weight factor for the stand?

Regards,

Macca

Another thoughtful and useful review, Dean. Thanks.

You've actually added the missing piece of the puzzle. I've been thinking about buying a SCMS for a while but, for reasons I won't bore you with, I've been wrestling with the problem of how to set it up in a convenient place. The availability of this stand solves the problem.

Happy New Year!

Macca.

Was your question was directed to me? I don't want to tread on Dean's toes.

My stand is certainly rugged enough to support a 12.5" thicknesser, DeWalt, comfortably, and the span of the legs is wide enough to maintain stability.

You might have a problem fitting yours if the bolt down holes were offset. The stand requires that the adjustable support members be parallel. The way around that might be to bolt the machine to a base, plywood maybe, and then bolt the plywood to the supports.

I bought an Ozito stand and I do not think it is good value. P.O.S springs to mind. It has its weaknesses - particularly the winding mechanism for the mounting brackets. Mine broke after a few days - not just the cotter pin - but the actual winding arm.

If longevity is what you are after, my suggestion is to look elsewhere.

Hmm maybe bad luck or perhaps they changed something in the latest models? I had one of the first made... still have it and still works great as the stand for my 12" miter saw. No complaints here.
