Editorial Review

Designed to fit any miter saw or compound slide saw, this Trojan standis light, portable, and easy to set up. It provides 13 feet of overall support with both ends fully extended, and while we would have liked to see quick-release adjustments, it is a generous amount of room by most standards. The surface is not predrilled for mounting, so you'll have to drill and mount your saw yourself. Construction is rugged steel, and the welds are solid, as are the rollers on the extensions. In order to reduce weight, Trojan has kept the legs fairly thin, and as a consequence the unit isn't as burly as some models. But depending on the saw model you intend to mount, and where you plan to set up (indoors, outdoors, or in the shop), this may or may not be an issue. The wheels are 10 inches in diameter and roll well, and in terms of portability, the stand's relative lightness is a positive. The table measures 39-1/2 inches long by 16 wide by 35-1/2 inches tall. --Jonathon Tudor ... Read more

Best Miter Saw Stand Around
With all the things that there is to worry about when starting a new job, setup isn't one of them with this stand. It makes it easy to get the saw around, set up and lets me get to work.It's been nothing but reliable and has been built to last. This stand has been one of the best things I've had for my business and my back.

Bad customer service
So, I liked the stand for the first 5 months then it just started falling apart. First the rollers started coming out because the 1/4 rod just slides around inside of the rollers. You have to weld it in place. Then later the legs tore off. Had to weld them.
Yesterday I went to tip it up to colapse it and the rivits pulled out. (The hinges)My saw flipped over and landed up side down.
Now I am a trim carpenter. I use it everyday. So If your a home owner useing it to buid model air planes you will be fine. Not for the contractor for shure. But maybe you could order a welder from Amazon to fix your new saw. It will list comen things bought when you bought this product. The welder will show up.
So to top my disapointment. I called Trogen. This guy didnt want anything to do with me. He sells a product and wont stand behind his product. He tells me he only make 20 dollars off these stands. He said I would have to ship mine back 80 dollars and he would fix it. Im out 80 bucks for his bad product. Or he would sell me one for292.00 so I would save 7 dollars and loose out my 80 dollars. Then tells me list price is 439.00 . Righ t I could buy 2 for that from Amazon. So I gues Ill Just keep welding or buy someone elses product. Not happy with this at all.

Take it from someone with experience!
I have been a carpenter for a long time now. I spent over a month studing and asking other carpenters what stand they liked the most. Unfortunately none of them had seen or heard of the MS-2000. I found it here at tool crib and knew just from the looks it was what i wanted. I also went to the Trojan website to study it some more.
When I bought it and it arrived I was so excited. Jeff of Trojan, You did a damn good job with thing!!! It can hold a lot of weight!. I have had a 200lbs mantel on it before and it showed no signs of weakness. I use a 10" slide hitachi on it and it is so easy to get around now. The rollers are great and help with cutting all types of materials. There are so many great things about this stand.
Again Jeff, owner of Trojan, my hat is off to you. You have made the most valuable tool me and other carpenters own. After I showed this stand to other carpenters I have become the envy of all carpenters that have seen it. The best. No others can come close. ... Read more

Good lord - the smell!!!
Have you ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's car is attacked by BO that doesn't go away, and lingers on anything that crosses its path?This has the same disease.Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty.Gross, but it's a foot warmer so I thought I'd give it a chance regardless.In its defense, it *does* work - my terminally cold wife liked the warm footsy feel; unfortunately she has a sense of smell.The room we had it in is still stinky!Get this thing outta our house!!! :)

Very Nice Foot Warmer!!! Chazzzzz
I bought this for my Mom. She has always had cold feet. She is toasty warm all over NOW! The winter in Colorado can be very cold and the cost to heat a large room is not cheap!

I read the other comments and worried about the rubber smell. Well I plugged in the unit and a little smell on high heat and soon the smell was gone. She never smelled anything and was so happy about her feet/legs >> WHOLE BODY WARM ! HIGH HEAT WAS TO WARM SO I AM GLAD I BOUGHT the $15 switch that allows you high/low and on off settings! BUY it if you know someone that has cold feet!

Soooooo glad I found this item!

Editorial Review

The Workmate 225 might be what's missing from your home shop. Its versatility makes it an especially ideal choice for those with limited shop floor space: Use it as a workbench, a bench tool stand, a vise, or a sawhorse; when the job's done, you can quickly break it down and store it out of the way. (Try that with a regular workbench!) Its portability is no small advantage: essentially, the Workmate lets you move your shop wherever you need it. The Workmate's legs fold under to provide the lower height and stability needed for use as a base for bench tools. Its all-steel construction and rubber feet ensure a stable, strong work surface that supports up to 450 pounds. And its independently adjustable jaws have two swivel pegs each, allowing you to hold almost anything. The Workmate 225 is Black & Decker's intro model. They also offer the Workmate 550, which is a little burlier, has a nice clamping device, and is more expensive. For light-duty, home shop use, though, the Workmate 225 is an excellent choice. --Tim Block ... Read more

Don't own, but considered one
A quick look at the goods in a hardware store showed me all I needed to know. B&D has fooled me twice with expensive shoddy goods for which no replacement parts were available to the buyer. They will not get the chance to fool me thrice.

Wow...what a disappointment!!
I have always wanted one of these since they look so useful. When I got it, I was really disappointed. The metal edges are razor sharp...even the cheap plastic parts have sharp edges. Assembly instruction is poorly written with pictures so tiny that they are pretty much useless. Then when I tried to clamp a project (a 14" X 12" board), there is no way to get it clamped down securely. The adjustment options were either too big or too small to get all 4 clamps on it! I tried using only 2 clamps, but it was impossible to secure it, and I did not want to tighten it too much fearing the cheap plastic handle might break off. Do not look at this as hardware; it is not. The material of this product is very cheap...and it will not last if you treat it like a tool.

Great until I broke the worm gear follower
My father has had a workmate for years.It had provided about 5 years of faithful 'moderate' to 'light' duty service.It's a must for space starved garages or workshops, and is fantastic for clamping.One of its drawbacks is its unwieldy center of mass when it folded up and placed on its side.It has a tendency to want to tip over if bumped, and in a confined garage that can be a problem.Alas, about a month ago it fell over and broke the plastic worm gear follower.It is a shame that they selected a thermoset plastic for this part.Because of its lack of ductility when it hit the deck it shattered into a several pieces.At first pass for the designers to make a part of this complex geometry out of plastic was the obvious choice, however, a die casting of the same part would have been much better.(...) ...

Makita's 2703 table saw's best friend
I have been using the Rousseau 2600 PortaMax Jr. Stand for over a month now, I'm very satisfied with its durability.It has transformed my Makita 2703 table saw from something that I had regretted ever buying to something I now enjoy using. The Rousseau 2600 provided a rip fence that's dependable plus a large table top surface. The reason for only 4 stars is the rip fence is approximately 2" high and doesn't have any holes to mount anything to it.

Doubles the value and usefulness of your portable saw!
I bought this table extension and fence for my Makita 10" portable table saw.The Makita came with a terrible fence that was almost always off-center and inaccurate.Even worse, the table was so small, you could only make cuts up to 12" wide.This table extension makes the saw able to rip full size sheet goods (the long way) and the fence makes the Makita a decently accurate saw to work with.So far I've used this combination for making speaker cabinets and homebrew arcade controls cabinets and it has exceeded my expectations.Rousseau has built a very high quality product.

Portamax JR PM2600D, You Bet!
Easy to install and easy to adjust.Although not noted in the writeup,the Portamax JR PM2600D is a direct bolt up for the Makita 2703 XL tablesaw.This makes this saw 1) accurate and #2)enable a 24" rip.Thisallows the accuracy of the rousseau table, but also allows you to use thestand that comes with the Makita 2703 XL saw.I would recommend this unitto anyone. ...

Editorial Review

Wood magazine loves this stand, and for good reason. It is truly high quality, it's hefty and stable, and this XL model is 9 inches wider than its little brother, the SS2875, so it accommodates even the biggest miter saws--up to 36 inches wide. Rugged, industrial locking casters roll smoothly; the wings fold down easily for storage with quick-release hinges if you're short on space. The powder-coated finish will stand up to anything, and the cross-bracing offers added stability. This larger model lets you set a stop all the way out to 84 inches. Optional accessories are available, and we suggest picking up a hand truck kit for extra portability. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

Solid stand - could use a few improvements
This review refers to the older version of the 2875XL that required an accessory bracket for certain larger saws.

I use this stand with a Makita LS1013 and to date have been happy with its overall performance. Some positive aspects:

The stand is well made with reasonably heavy guage tubular steel legs and stamped steel shelves.

The wing support mechanisms work smoothly and are easy to lock and unlock.

The casters also work well and lock solidy when the brake is applied.

The fence is heavy, solid and works simply.

Some negatives:

The stand is relatively narrow and gives the impression of being somewhat unstable. With the added weight of a large saw it is top-heavy and might be prone to tip over when moved should one of the wheels catch on anything. Caution in moving the stand and/or placement of some weight on the lower shelf would presumably reduce this tendancy.

Alignment of shelf brackets and some of the cross braces on the wings was off. The shelf bracket appeared to have been welded too close to the center of the leg causing some challenges during assembly. The cross braces on the wings were not parallel to the horizontal plane of the wings such that if you placed a straight-edge across them some would be higher or lower than others. The variances were not huge but again made for some challenges during set-up.

Predrilled holes in the legs to facilitate creation of a cabinet under the saw shelf (similar to what is available on some of the bench/worktable legs sold by some of the woodworking chains) would have been a plus.

Some thoughts on assembly:

The instructions provided really aren't adequate for this stand. However, these may have been improved on the new version that is currently available.

Alignment of the saw is challenging as you have as many as 10 points of adjustment - the four corners of the saw platform, the two angle adjustments on the wings and the bolts holding the saw to the saw platform for saws that, like the Makita, have rubber feet that can be compressed. Ideally you should adjust all of these at one time to ensure that everything is level. However this is pretty difficult to accomplish working alone.

The best approach to aligning the saw platform was provided by another reviewer of this stand - use clamps in a spreader configuration to slowly jack the saw platform up to the appropriate height. This method is not suggested in the instructions.

A long (60" or more) straightedge is also critical to success.

Placement of the tape measure is intended to be done using two provided pieces of wire. Unfortunately these are too large for the holes in which they are supposed to be inserted. I used small paper clips as an alternative.

I should have bought it sooner
I purchased the 2875XL miter Saw Stand and I have to say it is great. After reading the reviews on Rousseau products I decided that I would be happy with the products but that the installation might be dificult. Well I did not find the istallation dificult at all. I found the installation instructions to be basic but sufficiant it took about 45 minutes to set up and then about 15 minutes to adjust it....Talk about a space saver. The extension tables fold down and when I am done with it I can roll it away... The stops and tape measures are dead on. The only thing is for less than about 25" the tape measure does not work, you have to mark your board... I was a little hesitant about the price but I have learned that you usually get what you pay for and after a few days you forget about the price. I am buying another one for my other shop. I definatly recomend it.

Excellent but have some patience
I've used this stand for about two weeks now and absolutely love it.

My primary gripe is with the assembly and the instructions.The instructions are cryptic at best and have itty bitty little xerox copies of pictures to reference.Very painful to try to decipher.Also, depending on your saw you may have to drill some extra holes for the fence to fit right and align with your miter saw fence (I had to do this with my Bosch).It took a lot of time for me to assemble this and get it working (about four hours for me) but it works fine.

One of the components was bent in shipping and I called Rousseau and they sent me a replacement without any charge.They were very nice on the phone.

Now the good news.This is an excellent and versatile tool.It is very helpful for smaller shops as it is very easy to move around.The assembly is very sturdy and probably will last forever.The measuring fence (shown on the left side of the unit on the photo) is very accurate and reproducible.This tool really addsa lot of flexibility to the use of a miter saw.

If it weren't for the lousy instructions I would easily give this 5 stars. ... Read more

very shoddy work
This workbench is absolute junk.Mine came cracked on the top.If you try to use the bench dogs to clamp down a large item, it spreads the crack even wider.I'm afraid if I clamp down hard on anything, it'll pull the bench into two pieces.The shelf and drawer bottom were both warped.The drawer bottom so warped it couldn't be used.The bench smelled bad from urethane.It was so bad I had to move the bench outside, it was stinking up my shop.The vises both bind up when you try to screw them in, or out.

The packing for shipping was also shoddy.The box was falling apart by the time it got here.The only way I could send it back would be to buy a new box and packing materials and repack it for shipment.

The bench is now used in the back yard by my wife as a planting bench, but It won't last long.It'll be going to the dump on my next trip.

Great Bench
This is a very nice starter bench. It shipped fast and was a breeze to assemble. The quality and fit of all parts was excellent. Has as many features as a higher priced model and half the cost. Very satisfied.

Don't be fooled!
I have purchased thousands of dollars of tools and equipment from Amazon, and this was the first piece of JUNK ever.Unfortunately, I didn't get to read the previous review until after I had already made the purchase.I received the workbench, assembled it, and slapped my forehead in total disbelief!This is the WORST thing I have ever bought, and I am very disappointed to say the least.I don't even have the heart or energy to disassemble it and send it back.It's made from the worst wood possible, it has checks & splits, gouges,and looks like it was put together by a 5 yr old using junk pallets for materials.I get sick to my stomach just thinking about how I parted with my hard earned money; only to have this wobbly, cheap piece of JUNK as the result.Amazon, please do your customers a favor and discontinue offering this product.It isn't worthy to be advertised or sold on this site. ...

Finished Product 4 Stars - Installation on PM66 1 Star
Now that the unit is FINALLY installed on my PM66 I'm happy with it. PM66 owners beware - installation is NOT straightforward. Required cutting off section of the frame that hangs from the saw cab to avoid interfering with travel of the blade guard mounting post. The unit also had significant problems with powdercoat buildup interfering with installation of hardware and smoothness of pivoting mechanisms that had to be scraped away to get the unit functional. One fellow member of a WW forum I frequent said he told them of the PM66 guard post interference problem 12 years ago, yet I still had to deal with it.
In total I figure it took about 7 hours to get the unit installed. I should note that other PM66 owners I've heard from and other reviews here say differently - that's because it appears HTC freely changes the specs on this model. For ex: an easy PM66 install I saw pics of have a 4-bolt lower mounting arm vs the 2-bolt on mine, and black framing vs my white framing.

Nice Tablesaw Addition
I installed the HTC outfeed rollers on my Powermatic 66 Tablesaw this afternoon. Everything went together as explained in the instruction manual and all the parts were there.This addition will make ripping larger panels alot easier.I have had some bad experiences with HTC products in the past, but I am very pleased with this product.Assembly and adjustment was simple and took about 1 hour.

Excellent Tablesaw addition!
The Roller system is a excellent piece of equipment! It took a while to adjust the height of the rollers to the table. When I did, all rollers were flat with the table. The only downfall of this product is customer service! I had a defective part when assembling. Called 5 weeks ago and still have not recieved a replacement for the defective part! ... Read more

The 2x4 Basics workbench assembles to any size and fits anywhere. Shops and garages come in all shapes and sizes, and as a consequence, standard prefabricated workbenches are often too big or too small. This workbench customizes to fit any space. Featuring a comfortable 36-inch-high work surface and large under-bench storage shelves, the workbench is super easy to assemble--you just add any length lumber you want. Better yet, all you do is make simple straight cuts--no miters, no angles. The result is a customized, rugged workbench that's capable of holding up to 1,000 pounds per shelf. And because it's so versatile, you can also use it as a hobby table, power-tool stand--you name it. ... Read more

Great product
Using one workbench kit and two sets of shelf links I reorganized my entire garage in one weekend.

Total cost about $100 for the components plus $300 for the wood - great deal.

I'm ordering more shelflinks right away for my workshop.

Very solid and sturdy.Fairly easy to build as well.Be ready to spend an additional $40 to $100 for lumber depending on quality and design.Still a good deal for a solid workbench.I built mine to be 4' by 8' and used 3/4 inch BC plywood for work surface.It's big but had to make minimal cuts to lumber.If you have the room, your workbench can never be too big.

This is a great kit -- read the description!
We've been looking to buy another one of these and are really glad to find it here.We put together one with heavy duty plywood sheets for a huge, sturdy worktable, and it works terrific.

Read the description.The kit is adjustable and you PROVIDE YOUR OWN LUMBER.It plainly says that.Plus, take a look at the weight. There could be no lumber in the kit. ... Read more

impressive product
Always needed sawhorses.Never got around to cobbling some together because I didn't have the room to store them.Tried these based on all the 5-star reviews.Wonderful product, well deserving of the reviews.The ty-wraps are for shipping; you can take them off --and they are not at all "wobbly".You'll be glad you ordered.

Wobbly Horse
I ordered this product based on the great reviews here.I just received them and I am sending them back.First, they are too wobbly to be useful.Second, the plastic top bar moves around and it is almost impossible to clamp anything to it.I need a stable horse, not a rocking horse.The design is a good idea but it is not executed very well.

Money well spent!!!
I bought a pair of these 2 years ago to replace a pair of home made wooden ones.I thought the price was a bit high at the time until I got them and starting using them.They weigh next to nothing, they fold in to almost nothing and they hold nearly a ton.I use them as a bench for my 12" miter saw on job sights.I recommended them to a friend and he has them now, loves em!I brag on them to everyone I know who still uses the home made kind!GREAT BUY!I use them so often that I am just getting around to buying some of the optional accessories. ...

The Stablemate Plus Miter Saw Stand is "Made in USA" Quality
After setting up this stand it was so good that I went right back to Amazon and ordered the optional 6 ft. Extension Kit, Shelf Brackets, Parallel Back Fence Kit and Wheel Kit. All for less than the other makes. This IS American quality and at a great price. I found the best deal at Amazon.com and no I don't work for Amazon.

Less expensive, but doesn't look/feel cheap
After spending some time working with fully assembled displays of a StableMate Plus100, a Stablemate XWC-36, and a DeWalt DW723, the Plus100 is the miter saw stand I ended up buying.

With the Plus100 costing about $100 less than the DW723, you might expect it to look and feel "cheap." Absolutely not! It's all heavy duty galvanized steel except for the precision all-aluminum mounting clamps for the miter saw. Seeing this stand in person rather than looking at the picture above or even at the StableMate web site gives you a much better appreciation for its quality construction. For example, the angled brackets for the work supports in the picture look a bit flimsy, but they're actually 1/4" solid steel. I believe the manufacturer's claim that this unit will in fact support 500 lbs. The legs might sink into soft ground, but this baby won't bend.

If you read the reviews posted here at Amazon for the Plus100's more expensive brother, the StableMate XWC-36, you'll see several comments that it takes about three hours to assemble that model. With the Plus100, the legs, extension arms and the keel beam come out of the box fully assembled as a single unit. All there's left to do is put together the work supports, the stop plate, the handle, and finally mount your saw on the clamps. It took me less than 15 minutes to completely assemble to the finger-tighten stage, then maybe another 5 minutes to tighten the nuts with a small wrench (the only tool you need) and to adjust the work support brackets so they were perfectly on line with the miter saw table.

If you want to add wheels, more work supports, etc. look at StableMate's website for various accessory packages you can buy for the Plus100. But, with spare parts laying around most workshops, you can easily make an additional stop plate or more work supports. Even attaching the wheels of your choice shouldn't be much of a challenge for the average do-it-yourselfer.

I think all the miter saw stand manufacturers claim their products will support all miter saw brands. However, some extra work on your part might be necessary to make that statement true. The "universal" mounting clamps are designed for saws that have the front mounting holes directly in line with the rear mounting holes. If your miter saw's mounting holes are not in line front to rear (as mine aren't), the standard suggestion is to cut a piece of 5/8" or thicker plywood slightly larger than the saw base, fasten the wood to the saw base, then fasten the mounting clamps to the wood.

I took a different route and just cut a piece of angle iron to the necessary length, then drilled two holes to match the rear (closer together) mount holes on my miter saw, and one hole at each end of the angle iron to bolt it to the Plus100 mounting clamps. (If that's not clear, I think you can click on my name to email me. Put Plus100 in the subject line, otherwise your email might get lost in my spam folder.) I made that angle iron support after I ordered the stand, so by the time UPS delivered the Plus100 (4 biz days w/free shipping), I was all set to go. By the way, StableMate provides all the nuts & bolts you'll need to attach your saw to the mounting brackets, even if you have to go the extra step and mount it to a piece of plywood.

The mounting clamps let you slide your miter saw left & right about 12" which is almost but not all the way to each end of the beam. Sliding my saw over as far as it will go, the closest distance the blade can get to the work support/stop plate is 16". So, if your project involves making a lot of identical cuts less than 16" long, you'll need to make your own stop plate and clamp it on. I suspect the same is true for the XWC-36; I don't know how close the DeWalt can get to each end.

Sorry for rambling on and on like this, but I know how frustrating it can be to make a purchase decision based only on a tiny picture and a brief features list. Hope this is of some help for you.

Good Buy
After reviewing and looking at a lot of mitre saw stands, this stand seemed to be the one to get. After looking at it at Home Depot, I was sold. Out of the box, I was very impressed. Folding legs with locks on them. Due to confusing assembly instructions, assembly was a bit tough. Once I had the stand assembled, with my 12" Craftman I was impressed. Cutting is really nice, there is no vibration at all. The only minus is that the work supports do not roll, and the stand doesn't have wheels, but overall this is a really nice mitre saw stand.

SOMETHING EVERYWORKSHOP NEEDS
One of those tool accessories that I have always needed, but
never bought.These will be in addition to the mitre saw stand
I also purchased.These stands are an excellent buy.All assembled, good heavy weight, and stand securely by themselves.
Fold very neatly together, can hang on the workshop wall with no
problem.Very Happy. Cannot beat the price, especiallywith shipping included. Received much faster than expected.

Fully Assembled!!!
I buy many tools for my home shop, this was just one more; until it arrived.I was amazed at the quality for the price, best of all it was fully assembled!I can't remember the last time I bought something that was fully assembled.If for no other reason, I give this five stars just because I didn't waste my time putting it together.Great value.

Better than expected
I have a hobby woodworking shop and ordered two WM-5 Roller Stands and was surprised at the quality for the price. A very solid well built stand that will fill every expectation for the average woodworking shop. ... Read more

Poorly manufactured junk
What can you expect from an item that costs less than $27.oo? You should be able to expect that the three main pieces would fit together! With only one height adjustment screw knob and one bolt through a welded bracket it should be easy. Unfortunately, the bracket was welded out of line and the two bolt holes were drilled out of line. After hammering the brackets into alignment with the leg it is welded to, and hammering the bolt through the two holes that don't line up, you are left with a pigeon-toed stand (the feet are not parallel). The legs would only open up about a foot until one leg hit the other causing the unit to be very unstable. The only remedy is to brace one leg while you pull the other and actually bend (cave in) the square metal leg. After getting the unit to stand up, I took my hand and spun the roller and watched in amazement as it bobbled up and down as it spun around. This was not caused by the holes that hold the roller pins being drilled too large (they are), but because the pins are not accurately centered in the middle of the roller. I have never seen so much wrong with such a simple device. This was to have been a companion to another roller stand I have, but I guess I will go back to Harbor Freight and buy another one of theirs. You should too! It is cheaper, and it works right out of the box.

works as advertised
I bought two of these for use with my table saw and am generally satisfied.I give it 5 stars, however there are some limitations of the overall design approach.I use the rollers instead of out-tables for my tablesaw.This is fine for cutting most pieces, but for full plywood sheets (4'x8') you really need full out-tables. What happens is the sheet simply does not balance on two roller stands and the whole thing gets unwieldy.But it's fine for ripping 2x4s or partial plywood sheets. ... Read more

Why aren't all clamps be like this one?
This product is so well designed, one of the main reasons I bought a Bosch saw was because of their clamp. Do you think this is overstated? It is not. My twoprimary goals in sawing are (1) to keep all of my fingers, (followed distantly by) (2) to saw wood as needed. A good clamping system is of paramount importance to me.

If a clamp does not work quickly and easily, we tend to dispense with it and just hold the wood. I know several people who found out the hard way the drawbacks of holding while cutting. Bosch is the only manufacturer who goes the extra distance and includes (1) a quick adjust, (2) a quick push clamp, (3) all-metal construction, and (4) a cushion to avoid denting the wood. Bosch is the only company that puts a lot of thought into the design of their clamp.

Way to go, Bosch! I salute you with all the fingers that I was born with!

Works as advertised
Like the clamp - it has a sliding adjsutment that makes it quick to use and when clamped down - the wood is going any place.Works great on the sliding compound saw.

They work as advertized
One clamp came with the saw.I bought another and built a fence extention to work with it.The clamps are very sturdy and hold the work very well. ... Read more

Portability is what sold me.
I'm a residential contractor, mainly into remodeling. I use a compact truck and trailer to haul my tools and materials. Space is at a premium. I've tried a few types of portable horses and came to the conclusion that these leg sections are the best on the market. Super strong, light weight, space savers and a snap to operate. I'm writing this review just before I order 6 more pair. 4 pair of the 37" and 2 more pair of the 27". I use them for my mitre saw station, cutting table and scaffolding.

Trojan Sawhorses
This sawhorse is absolutely the best foldable and portable sawhorse on the market, and it is also one of the most inexpensive.
The metal angle iron hinged legs with gripper teeth make these horses extremely strong yet easy to transport.Also, these leg stands can be used with any length of 2X dimensional lumber to make a sawhorse that fits any need.
For strength, durability, simplicity of design and flexibility and ease of use, I have not seen another sawhorse product that can match this unit. And best of all, it is made in the good old USA, by Trojan Manufacturing in Portland Oregon.
I would highly recommend these units to contractors and home users alike.
