what do you do ? why do you want the bosch? theres a lot of knowledge on here and if you tell everyone more about what your trying to do you'll get better answers.
i have the gravity rise on my table saw and after use i wouldn't buy it again if i had the choice. the gravity rise table saw and miter saw would fill my truck.
what i'd recommend is the smaller of the 2 fold up syle dewalt stands and make homemade plywood out feed fences to you desired length. the homemade wings will be 100 times more useful than any flimsy support that comes on the average stand.

I should have explained that I have my miter saw mostly to cut rough stock to length until I get to my table saw. My shop space is limited so I thought having my mitersaw on wheels would help me manage space. |

Hi Jacko I also have limited space in my workshop and so I have put most of my machines on benches with heavy duty casters. My Kapex, bandsaw, 100mm extractor, gluing and finishing table, router table and outfeed table are all on casters. The beauty is that they can be moved around according to the job and can even be 'coralled' into a corner to create more space. I have also made up a pair of light (but very strong) trestles that fold almost flat. They have sacrificial inserts on the top for sawing work. Peter |

Peter Hello Peter, My shop is constrained by my fixed machines; a Powermatic 66 table saw with a sliding table, a Powermatic planer, a 8" Poitras Jointer, a 20" Powermatic bandsaw, a mobile drill press, a shaper and a mitersaw along with my Festool bundles, my work bench and my assembly table. I just need to get some things on "wheels" to allow some mobility. I guess you never have the size shop you really desire  Jack |

Hi Jack
About 18 months ago I sold off all of my heavy machines as I suffer from arthritis in my wrists and also space was a nightmare. It was then that I discovered Festool and found that so much of what I had been doing before could be done more elegantly and with less mess using these wonderful German machines. The saddest loss was my spindle moulder or rather the several $1000s of tooling that fetched so little. Never mind.
Good luck with you shop organisation.
Peter

I was just wondering about the apples myself. That's a big box.

Hi Kev
In 2011 we had a bumper year for cooking apples. I filled all of the storage trays that I had made and then had to put the rest in a big old Canadian sink (for the Canadians reading this - it came from Canadian Tire in Kingston and I had it as hand baggage on a C130 out of Trenton, Ontario).
We have just (3 days ago) used the last of the apples. I think that this is also the longest that our apples have lasted. I usually have stewed apple on my cereal each morning. We also had our first good year for seedless desert grapes - fingers crossed for this year.

Hi dave
Sorry my reply was typed whilst you made your point. I remember the Molly Pitcher Inn in Red Bank - not far from you I suspect!

I have the Bosch T4B and do like it for its intended purpose of mobility around my garage and out into the driveway. It is big and heavy. Weighing in at 135 lbs with a Milwaukee 12" slider installed, it is too much as a unit for me to lift in the back of my truck and take to a jobsite. However, the saw is easy to unclip from the stand.
The Bosch stand is not my choice for furniture making, but is great for my use in framing and trim work.
After four years of moderate use, the stand is still solid and stable and sets up and down in seconds. The extensions sag slightly when pulled out near their limits. But, so does the DeWalt sawhorse style stand that travels with me. I would buy the Bosch again and know its limitations.

Thanks Scott "I have the Bosch T4B and do like it for its intended purpose of mobility around my garage and out into the driveway" That is exactly what I need it for since all of my furniture making machines take up permanent residence in my small garage shop. Right now my DeWalt 708 is mounted on a 12" wide board supported by fold up legs and it need to be lifted out of the way every day. Jack |

I set up the new Bosch T4B Gravity-Rise Miter saw stand this weekend and I can't be more pleased. Since I had been storing this saw on a home made stand right behind my table saw I had to lift it every time I wanted to cut a piece over 2' long on my table saw. Well, it's on wheels now and moving it is a cinch.
