The T4B features Boschs patented gravity rise system, for quick and easy set up and breakdown. With a simple turn of the release lever and some slight downward pressure, the weight and balance of the saw will raise the stand and saw and lock it into working position. Turn the same release lever again to fold the stand and saw and you are ready to roll it easily to the next location. This unit features 8 inch pneumatic wheels that go over just about any jobsite terrain. The T4B utilizes an aluminum support rail and special Universal Rapid-Release Tool Mounts designed to attach to the base of all Bosch and most competitors miter saws. These mounts allow any user to quickly attach or detach the saw to the stand. And rubber-Feet prevent scratches when placing the tool on a cabinet top or bench. The same support rails expand for 18-Feet total material support, the highest among fully portable units. For users cutting long pieces of molding or flooring, this kind of support is priceless. Adjustable repetitive stops and table supports also allow the stand to adapt to varying applications and saws. | | | Features: | |

 Near Perfect Saw StandSep 15, 2007
By M. Guertin
I tested 15 miter saw stands for Fine Homebuilding magazine and the Bosch is one of my top choices. It has a wide rail body with quick connecting saw mounts. Once the mounts are bolted to your miter saw base, you can quickly snap the saw on and off the stand. The mounts have padded feet so you can rest it on a bench or floor surface.
The work extension arms are on the short side and have no separate support legs but the stand is broad and stable. The meduim diameter pneumatic wheels make it easy to pull the saw over rough jobsite terrain and up stairs. Opening and closing the system is the simplest of all saw stands I tested. Just release the small cam lever to unlock the stabilizing bar and turn the operating handle while the stand is in the upright - storage - position. A foot placed on the axle bar stabilizes the base. Gently lower the handle and the saw rail rises up to work height in one fluid motion. The stand rests on a wide bar when in the upright storage position. The bar is has a large footprint so it balances the stand with the saw mounted better than other models. You can see a 10 min video on saw stands and see how the Bosch works. http://www.taunton.com/finehomebuilding/how-to/video/miter-saw-stands-tool-review.aspx?ac=fp

Excellent Miter Saw StandMar 26, 2008
By S. C. Dominguez
This is quite simply the best miter saw stand available today. The only other contenders for this title are possibly the Delta 36-136, the Trojan MS-2000, the Trojan TWC-35, and the Ridgid MS-UV. So what makes the Bosch better than the also-rans? Let me tell you:
Delta 36-136 - This is a nice stand, but it was not sufficiently stable for my saw. In addition, the wheels were flimsy and prone to getting stuck in mud.
Ridgid MS-UV - This stand is good, however it does not setup as quickly as the Bosch, and storing a heavy saw on this stand when it is folded up takes up a lot of space.
Trojan MS2000 - This stand is basically the Ridgid MS-UV on steroids, and is the closest contender to the Bosch. It is heavy duty, but it does not set up as quickly as the Bosch, and it has the same storage issues as the Ridgid.
Trojan TWC35 - This stand isn't a cart stand, so it isn't as portable, however, it is the sturdiest and most heavy duty of the stands. If speed, elbow grease and storage space aren't issues, then it beats everything else.
Bosch T4B - It's tougher than everything but the Trojan TWC35. It sets up and breaks down faster than anything else out there. You can store the whole system in the upright folded position, so it saves space. It has great wheels, and a quick disconnect feature to remove the saw from the stand. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it's made in China.
*****Update (3/26/2009)*****
I've had it about a year, and it's still going strong. The only maintenance it has required is that I had to air up the tires. One thing I haven't done yet but would recommend doing is considering replacing the inflatable rubber wheels with flat-free wheels. Right now, I'm having to worry about running over nails and sharp objects which slows me down, and when the wheels go flat, this thing gets really difficult to move.

Excellent standFeb 17, 2008
By Gorilla800lbs
This stand is amazingly well designed. Like others already commented, it folds and unfolds very fluidly and confidently. The fit and finish of the parts exhudes Bosch quality.
When folded, it is reallly compact and manoeuvrable. When set up, it's extremely sturdy and stable. There is no slop in any of the joints once it's properly assembled, except the kick-bar which spins too freely to my taste. The outfeed supports are nice and beefy, with nice integrated pop-up stops. The construction of mounting bars for the miter saw itself is very nice. You can just attatch them to the saw and leave them on. They clamp onto the stand really easily and quickly. If you have to, you can take the saw aff and transport it around with the bars attached because they have smooth bottom surfaces and aren't likely to scratch anything.
It comes very well and thoughtfully packed. No shipping damage of any kind to the parts. Bosch pretests this product by actually fully assembling and disassemmbling this product before packing and shipping. The assembly took me about 45 minutes. I purchased it, by the way, from CPO Tools, who contuinue to have a better price and are known for their great service.
The only caveat I have to bring up: this stand is HEAVY. A whopping 77 lbs of tubing and cast steel. Keep that in mind if you're planning to be taking it up and down the stairs, or loading manually in the trunk without a ramp.

The best Miter Saw StandMar 02, 2008
By Ron Paulk

I have made and purchased many miter saw stands over the years, but this one trumps them all. I have a crew and need multiples of most tools so I purchase two of the Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise miter stands as soon as they became available. We have put one into service with our framing crew and the crew gives it a thumbs up. First, the fact that the saw can remain on the stand for transport makes it safer and easier for the crew to move around. The large tires allow it to be rolled even on uneven sites without trouble. It is strong and stable also. Though it is new, we believe it will stand the test of time just as the gravity rise table saw stand has. Our crew has been using the Saw Helper stand for years and did not want to give up the continuous extension wings so they combined the Bosch stand and the Saw Helper wings to create and easy to move, strong, and accurate stand. It is a work horse. I will be buying two more in the near future so the framing trailer will have two and the trim trailer will also have two.

Expensive but great productDec 17, 2008
By Scott Carpenter
Do not like spending money on such products. After checking out the other types of stands (particularly those at the big boxes), I decided upon this one because the other reviews said it was sturdy and well worth the money. It is quite sturdy and a great design. It is easy to maneuver, although a bit bulky in small spaces. It is absolutely fantastic moving around the yard and up and down. I also really like the features it offers like the rails and the quick release mounts. It you are going to purchase one, this is the one I would spend the money on.
